Library notices

All Thurrock libraries will be closed on Monday 6 May (Early May bank holiday) and Monday 27 May (Spring bank holiday). Libraries will be open at their usual times on all other days in May.

National Theatre Collection

The National Theatre provides the best of British theatre in its National Theatre Collection for schools, universities and the wider education sector.

The collection is also available to all Thurrock library members for free, making it easier than ever to watch theatre.

To access the collection:

  • book a library computer at a Thurrock library
  • visit the library at your booked time
  • sign-in to the library computer using your library membership card number
  • open a web browser on the computer
  • use the National Theatre Collection bookmark in the web browser

You must bring your own earphones to listen to plays.

You can only book a library computer for 2 hours, so you should let the library staff know before you start watching. They may have to extend your 2-hour booking to cover the full duration of the play you'd like to watch.
