Share your love for books @British
February is known as the month of love: whether we talk about friends, parents or partners, it’s important to show those around us that we care! We believe that one of the most beautiful gestures we can make is sharing with our nearest and dearest the things we love most, such as the love of knowledge. The @British library decided to play a literary Cupid this year. What does this mean? It’s easy: drop by our library between 11-23 February, tell us who you want to surprise with a literary gift and we will send the reader in your life their library card, together with a wonderful message inspired by the greatest love stories in the world. If you are a wordsmith yourself, you can easily write your own declaration, but if you want this to be a film-worthy move, we promise we won’t tell it’s you! During this time, our Standard and Youth memberships benefit from a 25% discount.
In addition to that, if you already are a library member, we encourage you to take the plunge and go on a blind date… with a book. Based solely on some key words, you might fall in love with your new favourite novel!
See you @British!
