The new year and mid-winter can feel hard. Our Wellbeing Bags may help. They’re portable collections of items, books and activities for individuals or groups to try out at home or out and about in the community.

We have two Wellbeing Bags at the library for you to borrow for up to three weeks. One bag is for anybody to use whilst the other is tailored specially for teens and young adults. Both bags provide a variety of self-help activities that you can use as an aid to your health and wellbeing.

You’ll find them near the Community Information board in the library, or simply ask for them at the desk. We’ll be pleased to help. If the bag you want isn’t available, we’ll reserve it for you free of charge.

Storytime runs every Thursday during term time from 10.15am to 11.00am. We invite you and your child aged from 1 to 4 along to the library to enjoy FREE story readings by one of our lovely Storytime volunteer readers.

There’s no need to book – just rock up. We’re pushchair-friendly too – park them inside the library.

So pull on those comfy seven-league boots, shoulder your faithful old knapsack, and install the magic bean app on your phone. Then stroll (or wheel) your wide-eyed and unsuspecting pre-schoolie along to the library to enjoy one of our lovely volunteers bringing a children’s tale or two to life.

Please note: children should be accompanied throughout by a parent or guardian.

With summer now winding gently down into autumn you might be wondering how best to enjoy those longer evenings whilst dodging endless TV repeats, quizzes and gameshows. We can help.

Not only do we have thousands of lovely books to keep you entertained, we’ve also got some handy online tools to inspire you and help you to find your next great read.

Pop the kettle on, break out those special biscuits and have a good old rummage through our Readers Toolbox for some great reading ideas and inspiration: https://easingwoldcommunitylibrary.com/readers-toolbox/ And If we haven’t got the book you want on our shelves we can usually order it for you.

Enjoy your local community library this autumn.

Our Knit & Natter group, run by our lovely volunteers, meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month from 10am until Noon.

Join us for good chat and a cuppa. Catch up on your latest project or start a new one. All abilities are welcome and if you get yourself into knots our knitting and crocheting wizards are sure to be able to untangle things for you.

This September, EASINGWOLD INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL celebrates the variety of cultures all around us in a welcoming and sharing way. It’s a wonderful opportunity to see and hear storytelling, music, dance and live performance by artists from a wide range of heritages and backgrounds. And all on your doorstep!

All events are FREE, with a variety tailored for both adults and children. They give everyone the opportunity to explore and understand a little more about different lifestyles, customs and traditions.
