Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside our control, the VOCAL Library will be CLOSED this week.

We will reopen on Thursday 18th June when we will have coffee & cake as usual.

Many apologies. Can't be helped.

Feeling hot, hot, hot! It’s June, and summer is well and truly on the way.

Join us at the VOCAL Library this week on Thursday or Friday between 10 am and 1 pm. We have plenty of books for you to while away time on a sunbed or at the beach. Thomas Hardy, Anne Frank and George Orwell were all born in June and we have books from them on our shelves as well as as many other authors in different genre.

On the first day as usual, we will have our coffee morning and this week’s bakes are a Victoria sponge with strawberry jam and a coconut and lime cake with lime icing. And of course we have freshly brewed coffee and pot of tea.

Every cent we make in the library goes towards VOCAL’s valuable work caring for the local street cats. Every single donation contributes towards either on neutering programme, medication or maintaining our premises in order that we can run our clinics. So everything you donate for borrowing a book, eating a slice of delicious cake or having a cup of coffee helps towards that aim.

Pop along and see us, we’d be delighted to see you!  if you’re not sure where we are we are on the Kritsa Road out of Agios Nikolaos, a few doors before you reach the British Food Shop.

We hardly dare say that summer is officially here, but this week it certainly feels like it.

Join us at the VOCAL Library on Thursday or Friday to pick out some beach reads, to while away time in the sun or the shade whatever genre of fiction you fancy. Crime, thrillers, classics, romance or historical fiction plus a few biographies and general good stories.

We're open Thursday and Friday from 10am to 1pm and on Thursday it's our weekly coffee morning, this week with a Banana Chocolate Chip Loaf, and a Cherry Bakewell.

See you there!

A reminder that the library is open ONLY on Thursday this week due to veterinary clinics on Friday and Saturday.

So if you need more reading material for the beach, pop up and see us then.

Our Thursday cakes this week are a lemon cake or some cinnamon pastries.

See you then!

Although the library is open as usual this morning due to a planned power cut we will be unable to serve coffee until approximately 1045. Water cakes and scones will obviously still be available from 10 am.

A little late this week publishing our hours, but the VOCAL library will be open Thursday and Friday this week from 10am to 1pm.

It is definitely beach ready weather, so why not pop in to find some reading material to while away time on that sunbed, or by the pool?

Coffee and cake as usual on Thursday with some scones and jam, or a mandarin cake.

See you there!

It’s May, the weather seems to realise that summer is due and the VOCAL Library has moved onto summer hours. That means from now until the end of July, we will be open on Thursday and Friday only from 10am to 1pm. EXCEPT this week, because on Sunday 10 May we will at last be holding our spring bazaar and our library will be open then, too.

Pop along and pick up some beach ready books and on Thursday join us for coffee and cake as usual (the refreshment stall will be open on Sunday at the bazaar, too, with all sorts of delicious cakes and pastries to tempt you. This Thursday, our yummy bakes will be a wonderful chocolate brownie cake (Janette’s birthday cake with thanks to talented Jeannine Waller) plus some crisp, flaky Apple and Cinnamon Pastries.

Form an orderly queue …….

It’s our final week of winter hours because believe it or not, summer season is officially here!

This week we’re open Wednesday and Thursday ONLY (Friday is a public holiday, hurrah) from 10am until 1pm. It’s definitely been something approaching beach weather this week so why not pop along and choose something to read on the sunbed or by the pool, maybe whilst sipping a cold beer, or a coffee.

On Thursday we’ll have our usual coffee and cake. This week is a Malted Chocolate Cake (think maltesers!) and a Victoria Sponge. See you there!

So, after a little Easter break we will be back open this week at the VOCAL library from Wednesday through Saturday from 10am to 1pm each day.

We have a few new releases going on the shelf, including the latest Lee Child, and as usual on Thursday we will have our coffee morning with delicious home made cakes. This week it’s a Bakewell Tart and a Lemon Cake filled with lemon mascarpone cream.

Pop along and see us, on the Kritsa road out of Agios Nikolaos a few doors before the British Food Shop.

Thank you to those of our customers that turned out for coffee and cake today after yesterday's dreadful weather. It was a bit chilly because of the breeze but at least the sun shone for most of the morning.

As well as sampling the cakes they even made themselves useful by assisting with cutting off a dangerous tree branch which had splintered in the storm, helping sweep up a veritable desert of dust from the patio tiles and assisting with clearing up at the end of the morning.

Please note that the library is open tomorrow (Friday 3rd) and on Saturday (4th) but after that we are CLOSED for our Easter break and we will reopen on Wednesday 22nd April by which time the weather will hopefully be behaving itself!

Also we'd like to let you know that our Spring Bazaar has also been affected by the weather and will now take place on Saturday 25th April.

Finally, thanks to local people's generosity we have lots and lots of lovely things to sell so NO MORE DONATIONS, please.
