Libraries across the county also offer e-books, journals and magazines, free computer use as well as internet access and wifi, various adult and family learning courses, baby and children's storytime and homework clubs.
Cllr Lucy Hodgson, cabinet member for localism and communities, said: "Libraries across Worcestershire are open 875.5hrs each week offering a huge range of free services, with many libraries opening on certain evenings and The Hive being open seven days a week.
"Even if you can't get to the library you can always visit online 24/7 – it's free to join too."
