Library News

As the season of goodwill approaches (ever faster every year, or so it seems!), on behalf of Pauline, Mel, Julia and myself, may I take this opportunity to wish all our readers, old and new, a very merry Christmas and peaceful New Year.

Life carries on at a pace here in the Library. We would like to apologise for the occasions recently when we have had to close, at short notice, but hope not too many of you were inconvenienced! Hopefully the situation looks a little brighter now and these closures may become a thing of the past.
By way of a thank you to you all for being so understanding (and just because it’s Christmas!) we will be holding a Christmas Coffee Afternoon on Friday, December 23, from 2.00 – 4.30pm. Please come along and join us for a cuppa and a mince pie – all are welcome. Also that afternoon, our younger members will be having our, what has now become traditional, Santa’s Storytime, from 2.15 – 2.45. We will be having seasonal stories and songs and, I hope, lots of fun! As our Storytimers’ older brothers and sisters will have broken up from School by this date, they will be welcome too and we look forward to seeing some of our “big” girls and boys once more. This is open to anyone and both events are free.
Our Readers Group will be enjoying their Christmas Meal at the Red Lion on 6 December, instead of having our normal meeting, and I’m sure will be discussing November’s book vociferously between courses! Our first meeting of 2007 will be on Wednesday, 3 January, 7.30pm at the Star and Garter Please feel free to come along and join us
