InspiREAD 2026 - Meet the nominees! ✨

Dotty Sutton is the illustrator of Scarlet Defender of the Universe - one of the amazing books nominated in our Longer Book category 🦸‍♀️

She's an Edinburgh-based illustrator and model maker. The dictionary definition of ‘dotty’ is ‘eccentric or slightly mad’, which is a description she is rather flattered by! 🤩

We're looking for volunteers to help with this year's Summer Reading Challenge!

Every year all Inspire libraries take part in the national Summer Reading Challenge. Children aged 4 – 11 are challenged to read six books over the summer.

We are looking for volunteers aged 14+ here at Kimberley Library to encourage children to join and complete the Challenge, explain to them (and their parents and carers) how it works, talk enthusiastically with them about the books they have read, and help them to choose new ones!

Volunteers will need to be free for a two/three hour session per week during the six week school holidays.

Up to the challenge, or know someone who might be? Find out more and apply on our Community Makers website: https://inspireculture.volunteermakers.org/get-involved/summer-reading-challenge/kimberleylibrarysummerreadingchallenge2026/395/

Aren’t these the cutest?! 😍

For this year's Inspire Knitting Challenge, we’re celebrating the by bringing crafters together to make Story Snugglers for children!

There’s still plenty of time to get involved - whether you knit or crochet, you can help create a cosy companion for little ones to enjoy at storytime. Make a bear, lion, frog or any colourful creation! 🐻🐸🦁

Our FREE knitting patterns have been designed by Janie Withers knitted textiles, and can be picked up at your local library. You can also follow step-by-step videos online:🔗 inspireculture.org.uk/knit

All Story Snugglers we receive will be donated through our friends at Trussell 💚
