Today we launch the 🥰"Big Feelgood Read" 🥰across our libraries.

We've chosen 22 uplifting and comforting books, and want adults across Norfolk to pause, unwind, and enjoy a well deserved reading break.

Tales of friendships, animal rescue, art, childhood, dragons, growing old, fishing, talking cats and much more. This collection has something for every reading taste.

You can browse the full list of Feelgood Reads here: https://rb.gy/3cs1h8

ID: A colourful promotional graphic featuring the text “BIG FEELGOOD READ” in bold letters against a pastel, chalk‑style background. Logos for Norfolk County Council, the National Year of Reading 2025, and “borrow discover connect” appear in the corners.

Our talented Maureen from Knit and Natter group brought in her amazing crocheted 'Temperature Blanket' in today. The colours represent the recorded temperatures during 2025, and I think we all want to make one now.
Come and be inspired by our very creative, friendly group who meet every Monday 1-3pm to knit, crochet, stitch and natter (a lot!). It's free, it's drop-in, and everyone is welcome.
