Lucky Dip Picture Books and Book Bundles
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic we have been providing Book Bundles and Lucky Dip Picture Book Packs for customers.
Due to the third lockdown, we can only offer these services if you phone or email us in advance to reserve a pack with your Library Card number. We can then put it aside for you to collect.
Due to COVID-19, Newquay Library’s events are postponed for the foreseeable future. Please keep an eye on this page and our Facebook page for updates.
