Wait... it's September already?! How is it already the last quarter of the year!

Well, with 2026 being the National Year of Reading now feels like the perfect time to pick up a book and get into it! Whether it's five minutes before bed, an audiobook on the go, or discovering your next library read, every page counts.

Pop into Gorleston Library and find your next read. 📖❤️

Also keep your eyes peeled for International Literacy Day this month!

📚🎶 Well, it's officially back to school this week! 🎶📚

That means we're heading into the final weeks of this year's Read to the Beat Summer Reading Challenge!

We've loved seeing so many young readers enjoying books over the summer. What's been your favourite book you've discovered this year? 📖✨

Don't forget, there's still time to complete the challenge, and if you've already finished, make sure you've collected all your stickers to complete your pack!

And please join us for our medal ceremony on 11 September at 4pm and celebrate with fellow readers. If you can't make it, don't worry, your medal will still be waiting for you at the library!

Woweeeee, what a summer it’s been at Gorleston Library! 📚🌞

It goes without saying the Summer Reading Challenge was a highlight as always! We’ve also enjoyed a brilliant mix of events, from the Gorleston Library Friends’ Teddy Bear Picnic 🧸🧺 to a fascinating beekeeping session 🐝 with Project Apis CIC — and so much more!

And of course… 🐌💛 ANNA THE SNAIL! 💛🐌 Freshly Greated

A huge thank you to everyone who has visited, volunteered, joined an event, borrowed a book or simply popped in to see us — especially during all those summer heatwaves! 🥵

Here’s to a brilliant summer at Gorleston Library, and to everything still to come! 💙📚

A reminder that Gorleston Library will be closed on Monday 31st August 2026 for the summer bank holiday.

🎶 One last summer adventure! 🎶

Before school starts again, why not take on our Read to the Beat character scavenger hunt? 🔍📚

Hidden around the library are all of this year's characters, waiting to be discovered.

We've loved seeing so many children getting involved this summer, and it's been a huge hit with families. Why not see if you can find them all this last weekend before school? 👀✨

If you’ve been inspired by the Summer Reading Challenge and wished there was something similar for adults… there is! 📚✨

Our Reading Ahead pathway is a great way to set yourself a reading goal, discover something new and get back into the habit of reading.

And even though summer is winding down, it’s never too late to start! ☀️📖

We’ve put together a display of Quick Reads, recommended by The Reading Agency, to help you find your next book.

Pop in to see us to get started! 💙
