Libraries

If you want to find out what's going on in Torbay and when the various national and international awareness days fall, then take a look at  the Annual Calendar of Notable Dates. This calendar has been compiled by Torbay Libraries and Torbay Council Community Engagement as a promotional tool for community groups and libraries.

Whilst the calendar does not claim to contain all notable dates worldwide or in Torbay, it will certainly give you an idea of the wealth of events and activities that take part throughout the year. For a listing of events and festivals in Torbay visit www.englishriviera.co.uk.

If you're stuck for what to read next, then try out Who Else Writes Like...?

The book version of this great guide was first published in 1993. It is designed to help fiction readers who have read all the books by their favourite authors and are seeking new names to try. Of course, no author writes exactly like another, but the selection of alternatives provided should help to narrow the choices from the hundreds of titles available.

Torbay Libraries have now subscribed to the new online version of Who Else Writes Like? so it's free for anyone to use from our pages.

We hope you find some new favourite writers in the process!
