We're excited for next week's Reading with Friends launch, which will allow you to borrow 4-copy book bundles on your library card to share with friends, neighbours and colleagues.

So on that theme, this week we're asking - what's one book you HAD to share with a friend? Was there a twist you needed their take on, a character you fell in love with or a story you couldn't wait to discuss with them?

It's not too late to vote in our online book club poll. Visit Cornwall Libraries Online Book Club to cast your vote to help choose what we'll read in September.

We're choosing between 3 BorrowBox no-queues titles - so these will all be available from 1st Sep as eBook and eAudiobook with no waitlists.

Calling all explorers...

It's nearly time to regroup, find some shoes that fit and head into a brand new school term. Why not pop in before the chaos ensues, finish up your last couple of books and pick up your prizes?

Still got a way to go? Not even started? Fear not! You still have until 12th September to complete the Cornwall Reading Challenge. Why not pop in for some inspiration - pick out some books that take your interest and let's do this!

📚🎧Audiobooks count as reading. 📚🎧

Research shows that listening to audiobooks uses many of the same parts of the brain as reading a book.

Audiobooks aren't a lesser form of reading. They're simply another way to enjoy stories, learn new things and discover great books.

Why not give one a try? With your Cornwall Libraries membership, you can borrow thousands of free audiobooks through BorrowBox. 🔗below
