Some of the items you can borrow for free from the Library
Living on a budget is a necessary part of life for some people. But after the rent or mortgage, bills and groceries are paid, sometimes there isn't much money left over to enjoy the fun things in life. Finding entertainment for free or low cost can seem like a overwhelming task.
Here's where your local library comes in handy. Gone are the days when libraries were only for borrowing books. They also now have magazines, DVD's, music CD's, PC Games, graphic novels, audio and e-books all available for lending. You can also book a computer to use and have free access to the internet. Each session is usually for a 1 hour block.
The library is also home to a hub of free regular classes and activities. In the past my family have enjoyed craft and candle making workshops, historical talks, kids writing classes, a meditation session and author talks all for free!

My local library hosts ongoing writers workshops, language groups, a knitting class, book club, genealogy group and games mornings.
If you are a parent most libraries also run parenting workshops, Baby Rhyme Time and Story Time sessions. They also run activities for children during the school holidays like craft and science classes.
These groups are also a great way to get out of the house and to meet new people in your community.
Each library will run different courses so check your local website for more details.
