A New Linc in the Library Chain

 

Linc Y Gogledd is the new co-operative agreement between libraries in North Wales to share reasources among their users. It’s the next step in breaking down information barriers and opening up libraries to everyone in the area.

For you, as members of Coleg Llandrillo Library, this means you can borrow books from Bangor University and nearly all the Public Libraries in North Wales. Coleg Llandrillo Library does not charge for this service! It also means that if you have a good borrowing history here, you can join Bangor University library and use their facilities.

If you are a member of a North Wales Public Library, you are now able to join our library here in Coleg Llandrillo (don’t forget your passport sized photograph!) and even Bangor University.

To join a member of the Linc chain -  download a form and get it stamped and signed in your main library

Why not search other library’s catalogues online before coming in to reserve an item?
