A BIG thankyou to our friends from Goldsborough Manor Care Home, who raised monies raffling off a beautiful blanket made by their crafters to support the Library & our ever expanding volunteer run coffee mornings at the Library. We now have some lovely seating for outside to enjoy the sunshine ☀️☕️
