Christmas Fayre!

Posted on by Zara

We are having our Christmas Fayre at the library on Saturday 7th December, 2pm – 4pm.

We’ll have Christmas gifts and cards for sale, and a lucky dip for children. There will also be a colouring competition for children aged 4-11 with advent calendars for the winners.

We also have these beautiful decorations made from books for sale at the library now.

All proceeds fund the ongoing costs of running the library so we hope you’ll join us!
