Guess what we finished today? 😍😀

This will be the new library for Hill Barton Vale Little Free Library … but it’s not quite done!

We are so excited that the very talented and absolutely lovely Holly Degavre Design is going to decorate the library for us before it’s installed.

Watch this space - we can’t wait to see what she does 🥰

Book lovers - an event you might be interested in 🙂

Award-winning horror anthologist Johnny Mains is coming to Exeter Library on Thursday 14 May at 6:30pm to talk about his brand new British Library collection, The Dead of Summer👻

The book draws on the dark folklore and superstitions surrounding Midsummer, Walpurgis Night, and May Day Eve — nights that have unsettled people for centuries. Johnny will be reading from the collection, sharing the stories behind his research, and there'll be plenty of time for questions too. It's a proper evening out for anyone who loves horror fiction, folklore, or just a good story well told.

I’m working on building a new Little Free Library for our community, similar to one I built last year (pictured), but this time I’d love to make it something really special ✨

I have plenty of ideas for decorating it… but they all seem to fall into one of three categories: too boring, too complicated, or way too expensive 😅 With a full-time job and everything else going on, I just haven’t been able to give the design the attention it deserves.

So I’m reaching out to see if there are any local artists who might be interested in helping bring this project to life! 🎨 I’d love something fun, engaging, and unique—something that really stands out from other little libraries in the area and makes people smile when they see it.

If you (or someone you know) might be interested in collaborating, please comment or send me a message. I’d love to connect and chat about ideas!

Let’s make something awesome for the community ❤️📚

🪧 CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE 🪧

We knew the library was coming to the end of its life … but this is it.

We will update you with news of the new library when it’s being built but it’s likely to be at least a couple months away.

Sorry all!
