TELL US YOUR STORY.

101 Stories is a new and exciting community project being run by the library. It aims to collect true-life stories from the people of Easingwold and the surrounding area.

Everyone has a story to tell, be it a funny or touching reminiscence, an influential memory or a life-affirming experience. Storytelling brings us together and gives us a glimpse of places and people beyond our usual circle.

Your story doesn’t have to be about living in the area – it could be from a million miles away. It just has to be a story about you and could be an A4 page or just a paragraph – the choice is yours.

Suitably anonymised, your stories will feature in displays and artistic performance during 2023, culminating in a book.

You’ll find full information about 101 Stories on the project’s webpage www.easingwoldcommunitylibrary.com/101-stories

You can also visit the main project display in the library entrance and pick up a leaflet telling you all you need to know about taking part.

What are you waiting for? Tell us your story.

We will close for Easter at 3.30pm on Thursday 6^th April. We’ll re-open at 2.00pm on Tuesday 11^th April. While we’re closed you can access a range of online services, including loan renewals, here.

The latest in our series of mini-exhibitions in the community library features work by local artist Cathrine Hall.

Cathrine – an amateur painter – regularly exhibits her work at the annual Easingwold & District Art Society (EDAS) exhibition at the Galtres Centre. She’s very talented, and her botanical watercolours are truly beautiful. Notable also are her portraits painted in the style of the Old Masters.

It’s well worth a special visit to the library to view Cathrine’s paintings, several of which are available to buy from should you desire a beautiful artwork for your home.

While you’re with us, join the library – it’s easy and free – and take a great read home with you too!
