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.
Current book sales
East Tilbury Library Tuesday 25th March - Tuesday 22 April 2025. Prices are here
Blackshots Library Monday 10 February - Monday 3 March 2025
