Books and reading

Meet the authors Nell Leyshon and Kylie Fitzpatrick during Weston Arts Festival.

We can help you find something to read among the thousands of books we have for you to borrow.

Our books cover a wide range of subjects, such as biographies, computers, jobs, travel guides, hobbies, languages, music, local and family history and other topics in information and learning.

If fiction is your love then we have every type and genre from the latest bestsellers to timeless classics, from prizewinners to quick reads. We have books for children and young people too.

You can search for your favourite authors on our catalogue. Our staff are happy to help if you want the next in the series or suggestions of what to read next. You can find great websites about books on cyberLibrary.

We can help if you want to join or run a reading group.

We also have talking books and books in large print. If you have a visual impairment we can obtain other versions through the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).

Join us in celebrating the National Year of Reading.
