Thieves strike at library

ECCLESFIELD Library have reported that they have suffered yet another theft from their garden on October 30.

On this occasion, someone, wearing a hoodie and boots dug up a conifer tree and took it home with them.

A spokesperson for the library said: “Ecclesfield Library is a non-profit charity run by volunteers for the local community.

“We now have a lovely outside area, cared for by our volunteer gardener, and all the plants in our garden are paid for by donations.

“We would like to ask that whoever keeps taking things please stop. Our library, and the garden, are here for the benefit of our local community.”
