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.
Be a volunteer
We offer a range of opportunities for anyone interested in volunteering with Thurrock libraries.
