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.
Our latest mini-exhibition showcases works by local artist Helen Geddes.
‘SUPERNATURAL: Paintings, Prints and Drawings’ has subjects in a variety of media reflecting Helen’s interest in the forms, patterns and colours of the natural world.
Helen attended a one year Fine Art foundation course before progressing to study History of Art to postgraduate level. She has taught on various aspects of late Medieval and early Renaissance art, the materials and techniques of painting and sculpture, and contemporary art theory.
Please do drop by the library and enjoy Helen’s wonderful art. The exhibition runs until May 20th.

You’re invited to GET CREATIVE WITH COLLAGE, a fun and friendly art session specially for adults. Hosted and guided by local artist Jacquie Sheffield and with all materials provided, you just need to bring yourself and a willingness to try something new!

Can’t make this session? We’ll be running another – GET CREATIVE WITH BRUSHO – on Wednesday 3rd June. Note it in your diary – more details soon.
** 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!
