It’s so we’d like to say a massive thanks to our trusty group of over 50 volunteers who run our library, not just as library assistants but as home library drivers, cleaners, gardeners and odd-job men! Even a trustee’s husband lends a hand - here’s Nigel putting a new seat in the public toilet!

We enjoyed hosting this visit by the brilliant Lee & Dawn of Animated Objects who explained their visionary project to build a lifesize replica of Scarborough’s Pump Room in the Spa as part of the Scarborough 400 celebrations. Everyone coloured replica cardboard tiles in shades of blue & these will be part of the installation which can be visited on 18 & 19 July.
