Somerset Libraries are continuing to support people with their online offer during these challenging times of self-isolation.

Although library buildings are closed, there are thousands of free books, audiobooks and even magazines available to download at www.somersetreads.co.uk.

For anyone without a library card, visit www.somersetreads.co.uk, and click on the ‘join here’ link.

Books and DVDs already borrowed don’t need to be returned until library buildings re-open and there will be no overdue charges.

Cllr David Hall, cabinet member with responsibility for libraries, said: “Our library service is so much more than just buildings and has been adapting to the new digital world for some time.

“Now, more than ever before, these fantastic online services are crucial in the council’s effort to support our communities during these challenging times of social distancing.”
