Libraries in Cheshire East are encouraging bookworms to make use of their online services.
As part of the Council's Your Library Online Week, staff at Wilmslow library are raising awareness about online services such as renewals, the library catalogue, reservations and the Virtual Reference Library.
From today, Monday January 17th, libraries will be collecting email addresses and explaining how it gives people access to a range of helpful services such as pre-overdue alerts, overdues and reservations waiting for collection as well as a monthly events listings.
Councillor Andrew Knowles, Cabinet member with responsibility for health and wellbeing, said: "More and more of our daily activities are being carried out using the internet and we have some excellent online facilities in Cheshire East.
"Many of our residents may be unaware that they can reserve titles and renew loans online. They can also borrow books and return them to any public library in the county, whether it be Cheshire East or Cheshire West and Chester. We can also send text messages to remind people to return items on time.
"You need to be a library member to be able to access all resources. If you are not a member, join online via the library catalogue where membership is free. However, those who prefer to sign up in person can do so."
