Our kindness racks are running short of adults clothes donations.

If you have any clean clothes that you do not want/need anymore and are happy to donate to us then please drop off to Gainsborough Community Library and place on our racks near the toilets.

If you have any spare hangers to donate then these would be greatfully accepted.

If you have any tote bags that you don't use/need, Gainsborough Community Library fruit and veg pop up shop would appreciate these.

If you use our library pop up shop, could you please check your cupboards for any of our tote bags, bags like in the photo below or any other bags we have used and drop back to us.

Could you please kindly bring a bag to transfer your fruit and veg on a Thursday morning, to help us gather back in enough tote bags to make up the following weeks fruit and veg.

If you know any company or organisation that has tote bags they give away with their logos on for advertising, it would be appreciated if you could ask if they would kindly donate us some.

Thank you for all your support.

Gainsborough Community Library plea- if you have any of our bags like these 1s or tote bags, please can you bring these back to us asap so we can continue to run fruit and veg pop up shop as we are very short again and we have purchased over 1000 bags. As you can imagine these are quite costly to us and means we can give less to community.

V4GCL are looking at holding a health and wellbeing afternoon/evening later on this year Gainsborough Community Library and wondered if you all could help us find some organisations, therapists and instructors that might be interested in offering their services to our community, promote what they do and bring everyone together.

Please tag them in the comments or get them to contact us at [email protected] so that we can let them know the confirmed details as soon as we have them. We are thinking first week or so of October.

Thank you for your continued support.

I have been looking into different dance sessions we could offer at Gainsborough Community Library.
We have the opportunity of offering Adult street dance sessions with CDC Street Dance but we just wanted to see how much interest there would be in these sessions before confirming.

Please let us know if this something you would enjoy to attend in the comments and tag others that might like to attend these sessions too.

If you have any other ideas of sessions you think would be great to have at the library, please let us know and V4GCL will see what they can do.

Thank you for your continued support.
