New Year, new goals?

How your library can help you keep your resolutions!

The start of a new year is the perfect time to set fresh goals, and your local library is here to help you stick to them! Whether you're aiming to get healthier, save money, learn something new, or meet new people, we've got all the resources you need. Check out how our library services can support your 2024 resolutions:

Stay active

Kick off the year with a commitment to better health. If your resolution is to stay active, the library's collection of health and fitness books can help you create a workout routine that works for you.

We also offer free access to activity trackers linked to digital apps, so you can track your progress. You'll be feeling stronger and more energized in no time!

Find out more about activity trackers.

Save money

Looking to save some extra cash this year? Instead of buying new books, why not borrow them for free? Our shelves are stocked with novels, non-fiction, and more, saving you money while expanding your reading collection. Plus, we offer eBooks and audiobooks, so you can enjoy your favourites on the go.

Find out more about borrowing books, eBooks and eAudiobooks.

Help the environment

If you're aiming to reduce your environmental footprint, check out our Library of Things (there are four across our network of libraries). From kitchen gadgets to gardening tools, borrowing items you don't use every day reduces waste and helps you live more sustainably.

It's a win for both you and the planet!

Learn something new

This year, unlock new skills and knowledge with ease!

Socialising and meeting new people is a fantastic goal. Join our warm hub activities for a variety of fun, community-centred events. From book clubs to workshops, there are plenty of ways to connect with others and start meaningful new friendships.

Check the events section of your local library for more information.

So, as you make your New Year's resolutions, remember the library is your go-to place for support! Here's to a year full of growth, learning, and community.
