Natalie Plant, Senior Library Assistant at Holmes Chapel library

Join our world.

That’s the message from Cheshire East Council, whose libraries are encouraging bookworms to make use of their online services. As part of the Council’s Your Library Online Week, staff are raising awareness about online services such as renewals, the library catalogue, reservations and the Virtual Reference Library.

From Monday, January 17, libraries will be collecting email addresses and explaining how it gives people access to a range of helpful services such as pre-overdue alerts, overdues and reservations waiting for collection as well as a monthly events listing.

Councillor Andrew Knowles, Cabinet member with responsibility for health and wellbeing, said: “More and more of our daily activities are being carried out using the internet and we have some excellent online facilities in Cheshire East”.

“Whether you want business, government, statistical or any other information, visit the Virtual Reference Library“.
