Today is the start of Volunteers' Week, so there's no better time to say a massive THANK YOU to all the volunteers who make everything that happens at Northallerton library possible.

So, thank you, every one of you - those who every week give their time to help customers with their enquiries, support events, process reservations, keep the shelves filled and looking good and much more; and to the IT support buddies and the book pickers and drivers of the home library service. Every one of you is invaluable.

And there's no better time to join our band of volunteers.

Libraries are more than just shelves of books, they're vibrant community hubs where people learn, connect and grow. By volunteering to support your library, you can support these vital spaces. Whether you love books, enjoy helping others or simply want to give to your community, there's a place for you.

Have you checked out the exhibition of work by York artist Kevin Clarke in the upstairs gallery at Northallerton library?

It's well worth a look and can be seen until the end of June.

Kevin says: "Since retiring, I have rekindled my passion for drawing and love creating a variety of subjects. I particularly like creating drawings which show the character and draw the viewer into the story."

Framed prints of all the works on show are available to buy from the library for £45 each.
