As we go back to school and seasons change, so too are we having some changes here. I've been singing online to you for over a year, but now it is time for me to move on to a new post! Fortunately, I won't be too far away, as I'll be Library Manager at Wandsworth Town Library. Hopefully I'll see some of your familiar faces there, and many new ones too.

Meanwhile, my lovely colleagues at Battersea Library are taking up the helm with weekly in-person Baby Rhyme Time (Tues 10am) and Story Time (Mon 4pm). Check out the events tab on this page for the links to register.

As you can see, we've rebranded here to be a general Battersea Library page, so we will stay in touch, and I look forward to continuing work with the wonderful Wandsworth community at Wandsworth Town Library.

Thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm as we built a different online community. It has been a joy to stay connected through lockdown, and to finally see so many of you in person at Battersea and Wandsworth Town.

-Carolyn
