Blackpool Libraries are free to use and free to join. There are 8 fully-staffed libraries across the town and they’re actively used by around 40,000 residents. They attract more than half a million visits each year, and delivered more than 2000 activity events in 2019 - supporting literacy, learning, social connection, health and wellbeing!
Libraries and the activities they offer can help people feel less lonely and improve their wellbeing. Blackpool Council recently agreed a Libraries Ambition Plan, which sets out how libraries will improve experiences for young children, reduce social and digital isolation, and increase support for positive mental health.
