WROXHAM LIBRARY We are inviting you to take part in an innovative new Library Project called ‘At Home with Library Reading Friends ‘ We know that lots of people are unable to visit the library and may be isolated or need to stay at home, for many different reasons. Telephone conversation has been particularly important for many people to keep connected. At home with Library Reading Friends brings the pleasure of sharing a good story and chat to you, by phone. One of our Library staff will call and find out what you’d like to listen to :- we will find something that you like and will enjoy talking about, whether it be stories, poems or even an article from a magazine or crossword. We will read to you each week for around half an hour, at a time that suits you. Just phone 01603 774777 ( weekdays 10 am - 6 pm) or email libraries.iconnect@norfolk.gov.uk We have now re-opened and look forward to welcoming you back! You can
