 Libraries Week takes place between the 8–13 October to celebrate
the nation’s much-loved libraries, and this year the focus is on wellbeing.
With a wide range of mood-boosting books, information on multiple
health issues, plus wellbeing boxes for adults, teens and
families, there's something for everyone.
Our regular events are good for your wellbeing too! Meet new
parents at our rhyme times, join a library book group or pop along to Uckfield
library this week for our coffee and conversation morning.
If you would like to do something new to improve your health,
why not give yoga a try? This wednesday Bexhill Library will be holding a free yoga session.

This winter Crowborough Library will get a fresh new look as
painters and furniture fitters come to redecorate. The works will include
new lighting, carpets and shelving, plus a new children’s area.
We will need to close the library for several weeks while the
refurbishment takes place, but don’t worry, we will be providing a temporary
library nearby with all the services customers are used to, including public
computers, books, printing, scanning, rhymetime and IT For You.
We will let customers know about the closure period and
arrangements for the temporary library in the near future.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused whilst we modernise your
library. For more information please visit our website.
Get
involved with the national Get Online Week campaign! Between the
15th and 21st October pledge to try one new online thing. Try using a
comparison site to save you money, check out one of our free eBooks, Skype a

This month's book is 'The Rosie Project' by Graeme
Simsion and is chosen by our Team Manager, Alice.
I really enjoyed reading this book; it is well written, friendly
and comical whilst having a meaningful and thought-provoking storyline. Don
Tillman is a single lecturer who embarks upon a process to find a wife; his
approach is methodical but set to fail. As we follow Don his stark
description of conversation as well as social norms shine a light on some of
the many oddities of society in an affable and friendly way, and take you
through the rollercoaster of life and love.
My sister recommended this book to me as I was looking for
something light-hearted and funny; it didn’t disappoint. I quickly became
engrossed in the story, and public transport delays became something I was quietly
pleased about! I have now recommended it to just about everyone I know,
and everyone has loved it. I hereby lay down the challenge that no one can
read it without giggling out loud at least once.
Reserve your copy from an East Sussex Library
or download the eBook now.
