A good read

booksHow long is it since you had a good read?
                How long is it since you browsed the shelves of your local library?
Did you know you can do all this from home on the web?
                Did you know that if you are unable to visit your local library they can bring the books to you?

What do I read?
If you haven't visited a bookshop recently then you are in for a big surprise. Retailers such as Waterstones and Borders have opened high street stores with selections that would give most local libraries a run for their money.They are great places to browse what's available but you can do just as well from the comfort of your own home.
An excellent website where you can browse all the latest titles, search for those you've just heard about or would like to read again can be found by following this link to Fantastic Fiction.
Here you will find information on over 200.000 books and 10,000 authors.

But here's the good news, having found a book, instead of buying it you can now see if it's available for free at you local library.

Find your book
Follow this link to the Lancashire library catalogue, enter the book details and the library service will tell you which libraries normally stock it, whether it's in stock or on loan and, if you wish, allow you to reserve a copy for collection at you local library.
