Your Mobile Library - more than you think!

What's big and bright and come to a place near you every fortnight?

The answer is your Mobile Library, which visits Westwood on Thursdays, at the Post Office between 11.45am - 12.00pm. (Dates for this year are included at the end of this article).

The five Mobile Libraries in Wiltshire serve over 200 communities, dozens of schools and over a hundred Residential Homes throughout the County. Down every country lane and the most remote hamlet, you can expect to meet one of them!

So what will you find when you go on board your Mobile Library?

If you are a parent with young children, you will find a great range of picture books, videos and tapes for them to enjoy; there are information books and plenty of exciting reading for older children as well.

For adults, there is a range of information and fiction books to choose - from the latest thriller to the best-selling autobiography. And it's not just books - DVDs are available for hire. Older people are well catered for with a wide selection of large print and audiobooks. If you are looking for a particular title and can't find it, the Mobile manager will be happy to reserve it for you (l0p) and bring it on a future visit.

These services are free and there are no fines for overdue books! So why not try it and see how much more there is on a Mobile library? It's easy to join just bring along proof of your identity and address and the friendly Mobile manager will sign you up straight away - he is always happy to help.

Dates for visits to Westwood in the remainder of 2011 are: April 14th, 28th. May 12th, 26th. June 9th, 23rd. July 7th, 21st. August 4th, 18th. September 1st, 15th, 29th. And so on, each alternate Thursday into 2012.

Neighbourhood Policing Team

This is an important update about Wiltshire Police's efforts to further promote public awareness of Neighbourhood Policing Teams and also to explain how you can get easier access to your team's details and policing information for your area.

Everyone is being encouraged to register on the new Wiltshire Police website for more information about local policing in one easy-to-access format - with a chance to win an Intel laptop by signing up.

There are more interactive features - including an option to vote on what you think the future main priority should be for your Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Visit the new Wiltshire Police website at http://www.wiltshire.police.uk/ Click on the large 'Register' image at the centre of the homepage. It only takes a minute or so to complete the process.

You only need to provide a first name, user name, valid email address, create a password and enter your postcode when you register.

Importantly, once you have signed up, each time you visit the Wiltshire Police website you will be able to log in to your own personal page, which gives you details of your:

Neighbourhood Policing Team
Contact information for your Neighbourhood Policing Team
The latest local policing newsletter
Current local priorities
A link to local crime map information
Details of forthcoming Neighbourhood Policing Team meetings
A section to have your say or get involved - including an opportunity for you to vote on what you think your Neighbourhood Policing Team's main priority should be in the future
There is also an option that allows you to monitor other Neighbourhood Policing teams as well as your own - so you can keep tabs on what's going on in an area where you may have friends or family

The new website has been designed to be more contemporary, accessible and interactive - and further features are planned in the future that will make it easier to have a dialogue with your Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Best wishes

Chief Inspector Bob Edge
Wiltshire Police
