Raffle Winners!

Posted on by Zara
Our volunteer Dave is presenting the first place prize to Jean. The prize is a hamper full of food and confectionery.

Narborough and Littlethorpe Community Managed Library gives our local community the opportunity to not only borrow books and use the internet, but also to enjoy social and learning activities. Or indeed to sit on our bench outside and enjoy our small garden

We now rely totally on voluntary donations and grants to fund all our running costs and insurances etc, so our fund raising is essential.
