The next in our hugely popular art and craft sessions for children in the library is EASTER ART HOUSE.

Easter Art House -hosted by the legend that is Chris Geeson Creative Clubs – is on Thursday 2^nd April. Visit the library anytime between 10am and Noon to try your hand at making a fabulous Easter card or a beautiful eco-scrap daffodil to brighten your room.

The session is free and is for children accompanied by a parent or guardian. There’s no need to book as it’s a drop-in. Allow 20-30 minutes to create something special.

Easter Art House is kindly sponsored by Britcab.

We advise our visitors that due to refurbishment works there will be no public toilet or baby changing facility in the library from Monday 9^th March for around two weeks. The nearest accessible public toilet is located 100 metres away on the Market Square.

Our latest mini-exhibition features photographic works by THE FOREST OF GALTRES CAMERA CLUB, currently celebrating its 60^th Anniversary.

The new exhibition doesn’t have a particular theme. Instead, it presents a wonderful selection of stunning landscape, wildlife and abstract images. These beautiful examples of the photographer’s art will be open to view in the library until the end of March.   Drop by and be inspired!

If you have an interest in photography, the club welcomes guests and new members. You’ll find details in the poster above or visit easingwoldcameraclub.org

** SOLD OUT **

It’s true that these days public libraries are about much more than books. The library in a small and oddly familiar market town has unknowingly branched-out into offering its community much, much more than great reads…

Written by a library volunteer, The Library Loft is a lighthearted mystery story written in memory of the late Sue Morris. Sue was a dedicated library stalwart for many years and is very much missed.

“The chocolate muffin ALWAYS made me smile!”

Here’s your chance to get your hands on a copy of The Library Loft hot off the press for the very modest sum of £2. Truly a bargain because when it’s won the Booker Prize the price will surely skyrocket! All proceeds from sales of the book will go to library funds.

Just be sure not to look up!
