Welcome to June at Winton Library! We've got some fantastic new displays for you. 📚 It's National Crime Reading Month, so books about mysteries, murder and meticulous plots are taking centre stage! 🕵️🔍 Would you enjoy a spot of cosy crime, a gritty contemporary police drama, or a slice of classic Golden Age crime fiction? June is the perfect month to find out!
It's also Pride Month, when we celebrate the contributions of members of the LGBTQ+ community to literature and culture more widely. Why not pick up a book by Alan Bennett, Graham Norton or Tove Jansson?

We're nearly half-way through the 2026 National Year of Reading, so whatever you're interested in, we'll have a book to fit.

Another great Pebble Painting session took place in the Winton Library Garden today. Thanks so much to our Garden Volunteers for organising this. We had artists of all ages in attendance, and the results are now proudly on display in our Pebble Garden! 👩‍🎨🖌️🎨🧑‍🎨

Happy Bank Holiday Monday! 🌼This is the last week of May, and it's also Half Term, so we'll have plenty of craft activities out all week to keep kids entertained and off their screens. And if they haven't already, they can get stuck into our Library Legends challenge and start winning stickers 🌟🤩🌟
For the young-at-heart, Ross will once again be hosting our monthly Local History Group: get together to share memories and learn more about Dorset (or indeed, Hampshire 🧐) in days gone by. If you know anyone with an interest in the local area, why not share this post with them? We'd appreciate it!
On Saturday 30th, all ages can enjoy another of our popular Pebble Painting sessions with the Winton Library Garden Volunteers. 🎨 If the weather is fine, we hope this will take place outside in the sunny garden. 🌞
However you spend your week, we hope you'll have time to sit down for five minutes with a good book. And if you don't have a book to hand? You know where to find us 😉

On Tuesday 26 May, we've got our Local History meeting, which is free to all! ⏳☕ I'll be honest, I don't know what the theme is this month - but May is Local and Community History Month, so it will probably be really good... 😄 Come along for a friendly chat and a chance to browse through our archives. Learn more about the Winton area and feel connected to your community.

All this week at Winton Library, we are celebrating Elmer the Patchwork Elephant! 🟨🟪🐘🟥🟩 Millions of children around the world have read and loved Dave McKee's stories about this colourful fellow, who spreads a message of inclusivity and friendship. We will have drop-in crafts available throughout the week! Our card making workshop on Thursday is currently fully booked, but there will be plenty of other fun activities to try. ✂️
All our usual weekly activities will be running as usual, including Junior Chess Club on Saturday; and our Garden Volunteers will also be here, if weather permits.
Hope to see you soon!

On Saturday 30 May we've got one of our creative Pebble Painting sessions - this will be outside in the sunny Library Garden if the weather is nice, or inside in the lovely warm library if it's not! 🌦️ Suitable for all ages - just turn up between 10.30 and 12.30, and our Garden Volunteer team will provide you with paints and pebbles. 🖌️ Your colourful painted pebble can then join our display in the garden, or come home with you!🍓🐸🌞🌷

Welcome to a new week at Winton Library! This is Mental Health Awareness Week, and your library service is here for you.
🔸We can help signpost you to support and resources in the local area, whether you're struggling with your own mental health, or want to help a loved one.
🔸The BorrowBox app has audio versions of popular books about mental health, so you can listen in private on your headphones if that's something you feel you need.
🔸We stock the 'Overcoming' series of self-health books, recommended by psychologists and based in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy principles. They're a great starting point for tackling many common issues, such as excessive worry, or mood swings.
🔸Reading is a great way to relax, and take time for yourself - away from screens! Even five minutes a day can make a difference.
🔸Activities in the library - like our Craft and Chatter group, Toddler Time for parents, or book clubs - are a low-pressure way to meet new people and spend some time in community.

If you are concerned that you are developing a mental health problem, please do seek the advice and support of your GP as a matter of priority. Visit https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/get-help for more helpful links to services that can help.

Happy Birthday, Michael Rosen! 🎂 The brilliant poet and writer of 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' is turning 80, and here at Winton Library we think that's cause for a celebration! 🥳 Here are just a handful of our books by the great man - of course most of them are already out on loan 😆

Here's your monthly update from the Winton Library Garden! Our team's hard work has really paid off, with every viewpoint offering a riot of spring colour, texture and fragrance. 🌸🌿 And there are plenty of benches where you can sit and enjoy the view - maybe with a friend, or if you just need some alone time. Everyone is welcome! May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we can all benefit from time in nature to give our brain and body a rest. Take five minutes on your lunch break, or sit for longer if you wish.
