Did you know?

"There’s a building quite close to you where many murders have been committed. Secret agents have been found there, aliens have invaded, love has conquered, several wars have been fought, rings of power have been hidden, witches have been burned and great lives have been lived.

"If you haven’t discovered your local library, you’re missing out on a whole universe of imagination, adventure and knowledge... All of which is absolutely free. And they have newspapers, magazines and DVDs too! Libraries are really so wonderful that it’s quite easy to forget they’re there. Join today!"

— Anthony Horowitz, Author
