Regular events in our libraries
Start the new year by finding out more about what's happening in your local library! Perhaps join a reading group or even start your own?
Owl Monitors
Owl monitors can help you understand and reduce your energy consumption. At present, the monitors can be borrowed from Great Hollands Library although an inter-library loan can be organised. We are also planning to make them available from other libraries soon. More information about Owl monitors is available on our climate change page.
The Annual Register
A Record of World Events has been published every year since 1758. It is a valuable source of contemporary opinion, historical context and biographical information for the historian.
Books on Prescription
Bracknell libraries are supporting the Books on Prescription Scheme to help people with common mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, phobias and eating disorders, helping them to manage their health problems and to regain confidence.
Find out who you are at Bracknell Library
Volunteers from the Berkshire Family History Society’s Bracknell and Wokingham branch will be in Bracknell Library on the second Tuesday of each month from 2pm to 5pm to help residents research their family trees.
