We want to help East Sussex residents as much as we can over this difficult time.  Over the coming weeks we're helping you explore our online services in a bit more depth, especially if you're new to the eLibrary.

We are giving you the opportunity to ask Sheila Bugler questions that she can answer in an online film hosted on our website. 

Sheila Bugler is the author of the twisted thriller I Could Be You’, set in Eastbourne.  If you have a question for her about her art, her creative process or just how she juggles working full time whilst being a successful author; just use our contact form. 

Let us know if you would like to be mentioned – first name or nickname only of course.

Questions must be submitted by Friday 15th May.

Sheila Bugler Q&A will be uploaded onto the Library Webpage on Friday 22nd May.

Sheila’s book is still available from Libby during May, with no waitlists and no holds.

When was the last time somebody read you a story? Most of us stop being read to when we get to junior school, but it’s the perfect way to relax and stimulate the brain.  A good narrator can enhance a story, adding nuance and flair.

We've got loads of downloadable audiobooks on our RBdigital eAudio platform. Free to download onto your mobile device, PC or laptop. 

Many people still think of audiobooks as cheating, but a recent study showed no significant differences in comprehension between reading, listening, or reading and listening simultaneously.

Another rarely mentioned benefit of audiobooks is that so-called ‘difficult’ authors like James Joyce, Cormac McCarthy, Ali Smith and Anna Burns; authors who dispense with punctuation and syntax are much more straightforward and readable when they are narrated!
