Somersham has a regular four-weekly Mobile Library visit on a Thursday - stopping in the car park next to the Community Shop. You can reserve books from any other library in Suffolk and then collect them when the mobile visits - and return your books to any branch / mobile library across the county. You may also suggest possible new titles, and make reservations online or library staff can help. It’s free and easy to get a library user card - you can get a card at the Mobile Library! There’s also a HOME LIBRARY service.
TODDLERS AND CHILDREN
This is a great occasion for toddlers and children, lots of books to choose from - and as the Mobile Library is in the village for nearly an hour, they can settle down and have a reading adventure!
