HAPPY EASTER!

On March 16th, we are proud to declare our Big Fat Cheesy Quiz Night was a ‘Big Fat’ success! The night was sold out(!) and we were able to raise over £800, which REALLY helps with the day to day running of our beloved library.

Our Spring Maker’s Market was also an enjoyable event with 24 arts and craft stalls and 240 visitors. We’d like to express our gratitude and upmost appreciation to the makers; who are the backbone of these events and help make our community such a bubbling pot of talent and creativity.

Furthermore, our ever popular Jackynory and our Book Launch on 30th March meant footfall was ABSOLUTELY GINORMOUS this month!

Our library is staying open for Easter and only closed on the bank holidays; Good Friday and Easter Monday. Some of our activities are term time only, so won’t be running for the next two weeks such as: Play & Chat, Singalong Sally, Core Pilates, Gentle Seated Yoga and Kids Vogue Stars.

Goodbye and good luck

We are very sad to announce that two of our fantastic volunteers; Janis and Deebha, who have been instrumental on Saturdays, are taking a break to focus on their exams. They will be truly missed. Should you see them, do wish them luck with their revision and thank them for their fantastic service.

Our Centre Assistant, Harriet, who has loved working in this incredible community, is also departing due to getting a full time role in the civil service. She has enjoyed her time with our diverse, multi-faceted space and looks forward to remaining one of our many library users and utilising the space to get a good book.

We are very pleased to announce that her role is going to be filled internally, with our incredible volunteer, Ruth, proactively stepping up and in.
