A skateboard was left outside the library recently. Please come and see us if it's yours! ( We have a whole box of other lost property if anyone thinks they have left anything behind! )

By popular request, our lovely volunteer Gerry entertained us once again this afternoon. We all enjoyed a good old sing-a-long to some favourite tunes, accompanied by guitar, harmonica and tin whistle (plus much laughter and delicious cake, and even a bit of Beethoven).
Thanks so much Gerry, you star 🌟

Gerry will be back with his guitar on Tuesday 13th October to entertain us all with some good old golden oldies.
Please join us at 2.30pm for a fun and informal sing-song 🎤🎸

New members are always welcome, so if you'd like to join us, pop and pick up a copy of this month's book

The Summer Reading Challenge is entering its final stages, but there is still time to sign up if you haven't yet, and to complete your reading challenges.
Aimed at pre-schoolers aged 0-4 (mini challenge) and children aged 4-11 (main challenge), the basics are: read 6 books, get stickers! Those doing the mini challenge get a certificate and a gold sticker for finishing, and for the main challenge there's a certificate and a wooden medal. It's free, it's fun, and you've got until the 12th September to finish. Woo!
Speaking of finishing...if you HAVE read all your books , we'd love you to pop in to tell us all about the wonderful books you've been reading, and collect your stickers, certificate and medal.
The Summer Reading Challenge is delivered by The Reading Agency in partnership with libraries and powered by Universal Music Group.

Bereavement Cafe is held every Monday from 5.30 - 6.30, offering mutual support for those suffering from loss.

It was actually almost like a proper cafe yesterday (but free!), thanks to our lovely regular member bakers Annie, Peter and Ros. We can't guarantee such a fabulous spread every week however 😋but we can guarantee a warm welcome and a friendly informal group.

Please get in touch if you'd like to find out more, or just turn up for a chat and a cuppa (and delicious snacks if you time it right!).
