We’re delighted to have this lovely addition, built by the TheSpace Dunbar Community Improvement Team. It’s a great way to share stories, discover new reads, and support our local community.

A big shout-out to our wonderful volunteer who looks after the books and keeps everything tidy, welcoming, and well-stocked for everyone to enjoy and to everyone who has donated books 💛

🕘 Open 9–4, Monday to Friday (and some weekends too!)

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported our Family Information Event! It was amazing to see so many people join us and enjoy the day.

We had a fantastic range of activities, including LEGO workshops, arts and crafts, Build-A-Bear, a jewellery workshop, and face painting. And of course, we can’t forget the most amazing scones!

We look forward to seeing you all again soon.
