Wrexham’s Big Read Winners

Readers in the Wrexham area voted in their hundreds recently when they chose their 'favourite reads' from a shortlisted selection of twelve books from Wales, six in English and six in Welsh.

And the winner is...

The favourite book in the English selection was Driftwood by Aled Lewis Evans from Wrexham. The favourite Welsh language book was Llafnau by Geraint Evans from Ceredigion. Both winners were presented with their trophy at an event at Wrexham Library recently.

The campaign was arranged with the support of the Welsh Books Council. Cllr Bob Dutton OBE, Deputy Leader of the council and Lead Member for Communities and Performance, said, “This has been a wonderful opportunity to discover the rich writing talent in Wales, and especially in Wrexham! We’re most grateful to the Welsh Books Council for its financial support towards this exciting project”.

Carers’ Collection

Carers in the Wrexham area now have additional access to helpful information and resources via a special Carers’ Collection. Titles in the collection cover topics ranging from autism and dementia to rights, benefits and the emotional aspects of being a full-time carer.

The Carers’ Collection is based at Wrexham Library but it is also accessible from each of the 11 community libraries, the mobile library as well as the Homelink service that visits individuals in their own home.

For further information, please contact Wrexham Library on 01978 292090.
