News and Events
A big thank you to everyone who supported our children's Arts and Craft days, a new initiative for the library this year. 58 children participated alongside their parents or carers, with some attending all three days. The murals created during the sessions are currently on display in the library.
Our next fundraising book sale is on Saturday, 5 September, from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm. Come along and pick up a bargain from our selection of adults' books, children's books, and jigsaws, and help towards our running costs.
We hope to see you at the Wash Common Community Festival on Saturday, 26 September, from 1.00 pm to 5.00 pm. Entry is free, and as well as our book sale, there’ll be plenty of entertainment and activities for all ages.
