Famous faces help Carmarthenshire libraries
Barack Obama, Colleen Nolan and Paul O’Grady are among dozens of famous faces bringing people through the doors of Carmarthenshire libraries.
Celebrity autobiographies are always in demand and this year’s crop is already attracting dozens of readers.
Most popular is the American president, along with Colleen of Loose Women fame and popular entertainer O’Grady.
Books on the late great Ray Gravelle remain popular, as do the winners of last year’s Llanelli Community Reads campaign Roy Davies and Ray Evans.
Ant and Dec, Dawn French, Roger Moore, Peter Kay and Michael Palin are all in demand, along with sports stars such as Nigel Owen and Shane Williams, songstress Katherine Jenkins and radio DJ Chris Needs.
Hundreds of thousands of visits are made to Carmarthenshire libraries, run by the county council, every year.
Education executive board member Cllr Gwynne Wooldridge said: “We have a wide range of stock in our libraries with the latest books available, including the celebrity autobiographies which are proving very popular.
“We would encourage more people to take advantage of this free facility.”
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 cassettes, DVDs and videos.
Free Internet access is provided in all libraries, plus advice and guidance on on-line courses.
