Nicola Rogers, of Lincolnshire Libraries, said: “We also offer a wide range of online resources that are accessible to library users with a full membership.
“The resources range from e-books, e-audiobooks and e-magazines to a music streaming/download app, help for people researching their family history and reference materials.
“There is also help for those learning to drive and advice for people preparing to live in the UK for the first time. All these are free to access and use.
“If you haven’t visited your library recently, it’s well worth popping in. It doesn’t cost anything to become a member.”
