May Fair

Many thanks to those stallholders and visitors to the May Fair which raised £475.59 for the library funds which will keep the library running. A few of the stalls are shown below

Updated grounds and raised garden

You may have noticed that we have had the gardeners in to update the planted areas around the car park which were getting scruffy and could not be easily tended. We have included raised beds and a seating area for tables and chairs so that during the warm weather visitors can sit outside having their coffee and cakes. The funding has been obtained from grants from the LFE Parish Council and the S106 monies available to us that must be used on making improvements to the building and grounds.

If you are green fingered then we would like your help in maintaining the area then please let us know.

Quiz Night - June 16th or 23rd July POSTPONED

The quiz night has been postponed. In order to run events such as this we need more volunteers for running such events as well as you volunteering a couple of hours a week (or month) to tidy shelves, make drinks or become a librarian issuing books. Full training will be given. If you can help then please pop into the library or use the QR code below and fill in the volunteer form.
