From September 6 many Oxfordshire Libraries extended their opening hours further to include evening times. Events and activities for children and families have been offered in some of our libraries during the summer. More library events are gradually being introduced and will be advertised locally and in the library. We still need to be careful about audience numbers for everyone’s safety. Please enquire at your local library for more information. Also our popular rhymetimes are gradually coming back!
