How Are You East Cambs? | Libraries in East Cambs

Libraries offer a wide range of services including wellbeing activities, information, free PCs and internet access, study space, books to borrow and online resources. You will receive a warm welcome from knowledgeable staff and find a calm, welcoming environment.

This activity is good for wellbeing because

Reading helps us to unwind and to connect to the wider world. Libraries have a wealth of physical and digital resources to help you read for pleasure, learning and research
They can help you navigate and access good quality health information and signpost you to further resources and support
Libraries can connect you to your community through their events, activities and even volunteering

'It is almost a 'hub' where people can come for any kind of information and, even if an issue cannot be solved there, the librarians can signpost you to somewhere more relevant. It is a wonderful free service where everyone really cares about the customers and their jobs. I feel really safe at my library and I am really grateful we have them in our communities."
