Sadly, due to volunteer shortages this month, we are unable to open on our usual 2nd & 3rd Saturdays this month (i.e. Saturday 9th & 16th May. After opening tomorrow, Friday 8th May, we'll next be open on Tuesday 12th May, 1-4:30pm, we will still be holding 2-3pm sensory session in the childrens' area & the 3-4pm games session also. See you then!! This side of this shelf features our special Chris Packham inspired selection of books, funded by the Friends of Cobbett Road Library. :) We're very proud of this collection - all of these books can be either be issued from our wee library or if your nearest library is one of the other 9 branch libraries in Southampton (and Southampton Central library, of course) you can reserve copies and have them sent to your local branch for collection.
