Thank you to everyone who supported us at our fundraising events last month. Our book sale on 7 September was a great success, and it was amazing to see so many people, as well as the sunshine, at the Wash Common Community Festival on 28 September.
With match funding from The Good Exchange, you’ve helped us raise over £550.00.

Watch this space for details of future book sales to raise funds to help keep our library open.

At Wash Common Library, we not only offers books and volunteering opportunities, but aim to provide community groups to bring people together.

Activities include monthly meetings of our Poetry Group, Book Club, and Knit and Natter, along with a weekly Rhyme Time for pre-school children and parents.

If you have any suggestions for activities or groups that could use the library to meet up, then please get in touch by clicking on the contact us tab.

If you would like to get involved at the library, by becoming a volunteer library assistant or getting involved in running one of our community clubs, please do get in touch.

One final note, please return any overdue books to the library - we do not charge fines for late returns, but as a charity we have restricted resources for buying new books so we do rely on borrowers to return their books so that others can enjoy them.

We look forward to seeing you soon,
Julia Calvert, on behalf of The Friends of Wash Common Library.
