Books can be collected from the library or sent to your work base in the internal post.

You can return your books to the library site at Hellesdon or send them to us in the internal post. If you need to keep your books a bit longer you can renew them 3 times unless they have been requested by another user. Use your library account and PIN to log in to the catalogue or send us an email.

If there is a particular book you would like and you can’t find it on our catalogue, we may be able to borrow it from another library. Get in contact with us here to request an interlibrary loan.

reading well for mental health
The national Reading Well Books on Prescription scheme was launched in 2013 and a new collection of books was launched in 2018. GPs and health practitioners can prescribe a book to patients from a core list of books on common mental health conditions which can be borrowed from the public library. Any library member is free to browse and borrow from hte collection.
Our library also holds most of the titles from the core list which staff may wish to read and recommend to service users. Find more details about the scheme on the Suffolk Libraries website and Norfolk Libraries website.
