Carmarthenshire libraries offer freebies
Free offers are available to people who join Carmarthenshire libraries in March, April and May.
They include ski sessions at Pembrey Ski Slope, either taster lessons for beginners or a free session for those who already ski; a free induction at Carmarthenshire Leisure Centre gyms for those who join and pay direct debit membership and free DVD hire.
Free theatre vouchers of £25, £15, and £10 will be available in a monthly draw, all new members for the month will be entered into it and three lucky winners will receive the vouchers to be used at Carmarthenshire theatres.
A free private ski lesson at Pembrey for a family of up to five people will also be offered in a monthly draw.
The offers are part of a county council libraries campaign to encourage more people to sign up.
Some 60,000 people are on the membership database already, and almost a million visits are made each year.
Education executive board member Cllr Gwynne Wooldridge said: “These free offers will be available for three months to all new library members.
“There are lots of benefits to becoming a member, and we hope many people take advantage of the opportunity to sign up and qualify for the free gifts.”
Carmarthenshire has libraries at venues across the county, and five mobile libraries which also visit primary schools, residential homes and housebound readers.
Libraries are welcoming and accessible to people of all ages including children.
Babies are now signed up from birth through the Bookstart scheme, Rhymetime sessions are popular with pre-school children, summer reading challenges and other events are enjoyed by primary schoolchildren and Teen Zones encourage secondary school pupils to join.
All libraries offer free access to over half a million books (best sellers, fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, large print titles, Welsh and English), as well as talking books on CDs and cassettes, audio CDs, and DVDs.
Free Internet access is also provided, plus advice and guidance on on-line courses.
Extensive reference collections include business directories, dictionaries, yearbooks, specialist publications, careers information and much more – including a wealth of local community information and local history publications – microfilm and microfiche- based information, and local newspaper archives.
