Deep in the woods on the big oak tree, lives a little squirrel with big ideas.This is Silly Squirrel. Silly Squirrel has never left the tree but longs to explore! So, before the other squirrels are awake, Silly Squirrel conducts a plan to go on their biggest adventure yet! I wonder who they will meet and what they will find out along the way? Perfect for ages 0-7.

Can you help us share the books everyone wants to read this month? 📚

There’s high demand for our 10 most wanted titles, and many eager customers are waiting to borrow them. We’ve purchased as many copies as our budget allows, but if you’re able to help, we’d be truly grateful.

If you have a pristine copy, you’ve finished reading - whether it’s one you bought yourself or received as a gift - you can donate it at any library in Devon or Torbay. We’ll add it to our collection to help reduce the waiting list.

Thank you so much for your support! 💚

Happy October - we’ve got a treat for you! Our libraries are abolishing late fees, including all existing overdue fines. No tricks! 🎃💚

We hope by removing overdue fees, we are further reducing barriers to reading. This change is effective immediately.

Reservation fees and charges for lost items will still apply.
