 Stories teach us about the world, they allow us to step into someone else’s shoes and feel empathy, they help us to relax and to escape. National Storytelling Week is a celebration of the power of sharing stories.
We have weekly Storytimes in our libraries for families to enjoy, but Storytelling is not just for children; we also have creative writing workshops, author events, and lo-fi theatre maker Jonny Fluffypunk!
 Come to one of our regular Rhymetimes and Storytimes at your library.
Rhymetimes are an opportunity to meet other families, sing and enjoy a story. They are great for your child’s speech and language and have a positive effect on the mood and mental wellbeing of parents and carers.
Are you interested in running a Rhymetime or Storytime at your local library? We are looking for volunteers to help facilitate sessions.
 East Sussex Community Information Service (ESCIS) is a database of community information and events. It is a free resource for everyone. Free to list and free to use. Bringing communities together, discover what's in your local area.
 This February in libraries read books by LGBTQ+ writers and characters. With themed displays in libraries and downloadable books, audio and comics from our eLibrary our literary worlds can be as diverse as the one we live in.
 To celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month we have Alan Hollinghurst's The Line of Beauty, a classic novel about class, politics and sexuality in Margaret Thatcher's 1980s Britain, exclusive to Borrowbox.
