Beyond the Page at Newcastle Libraries

Wednesday 14 October 2026
10.30am to 12.30pm
Newcastle Libraries
Monument

Over the years, many people have discovered new books, new interests, new friendships, and new confidence through Reading for Wellbeing. We know that libraries can offer so much more than people often realise, and we’re excited to be launching a new programme that builds on this idea.

Beyond the Page is a new, FREE initiative from Newcastle Libraries designed to help people explore reading, wellbeing activities, local history, digital resources, learning opportunities and community groups through their local library. Kind of like the Couch to 5k, but for libraries instead of running!

We’re holding an informal launch event and would love you to join us.

Come along to:

  • Be among the first to hear about the Beyond the Page programme
  • Take part in fun, interactive taster activities
  • Discover new library services and opportunities
  • Meet other participants, library staff and community partners
  • Share your ideas and help shape the programme as it develops

The event is free, but we’d appreciate it if you could book a place via the link below.
