Library Friends

Thanks to our growing number of Library Friends, many who are also volunteers, we have been able to keep the library going throughout the lockdowns we’ve all suffered. We are as keen as everyone else to get the library re-opened safely and hope that it will be soon.

In the meantime you can borrow e-books and audio books from Leicestershire Libraries Borrow Box scheme. All you need is your library card and you can borrow books or audiobooks from your favourite authors.

We are looking to expand the books we have for older children and would love to hear from readers in the 11-14 age group as to the books and authors they enjoy the most. We are also hoping to improve the IT available at the library and intend to purchase ipads for public use in the libary so if you have any suggestions on how we can make this work for you we’d love to hear from you.

The Library is a Community Managed Library (CML) which means we rely on the events we hold to keep the library going. Sadly, as we have not been able to hold any events for the last year, our funds are gradually dwindling. By becoming a Library Friend you plegde to donate a small amount of money each year which helps us budget for theyear ahead. As a Library Friend you will be entered into a twice yearly draw and be kept up to date with Library newsletters. If you would like to help support the library as a Library Friend or as a Volunteer librarian please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

Welcome 2021

Not quite the start we had hoped for ….

The Library Management Committee wishes all of our supporters, volunteers and customers a very happy and healthy new year. With a healthy new year in mind we have taken the decision to close the library again for at least the first two weeks of January. We have not taken this decision lightly but feel that it is in everyones best interest to do so.

We very much look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the library when we safely re-open. If you have any urgent requests please do call the library as we will do our best to accommodate any special requests.

We’re Open from now until Christmas !!

We have now re-opened again and will be here until Dec 22nd when we close for Christmas.

Open Monday and Wednesday 2pm – 4.30pm and Saturday 10am- 12.30pm for book borrowing and public computer use. Please book your PC time to guarantee it will be available.

Christmas Closure: Dec 22nd- Jan 2nd. Please phone the library if you need to use the public PC’s during this time and we will try to accommodate your request.

We Are Open Again !!

From tomorrow at 2pm we will be open again.   Social distancing and  safety measures are in place and we are ready to welcome you back. Please follow the signs  as the entrance is now via the side gate. The flow of customers into the library will be monitored carefully to allow for distancing and we ask that everyone entering the library wears a face covering.
