Special events

Every summer we invite children to take part in the Children's Summer Reading Challenge.
Book sales
From time to time libraries have sales of books that are no longer needed. Libraries are always buying new stock such as books, CDs and DVDs to maintain a good quality of material for lending. Book sales often have a range of items – both children's and adult material – to buy at a very low cost.
Our next book sales are at:
- Belhus library – Monday 7 October to Saturday 12 October 2024
- East Tilbury library – Tuesday 8 October to Tuesday 5 November 2024
- Grays library – Saturday 19 October to Saturday 2 November 2024
