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.
Visit the Festival webpage for full details of the programme, the performers and how you can book tickets.
On the evening of Wednesday 11th December Easingwold Community Library joined other libraries across North Yorkshire and the country in shining a light as a symbol of solidarity and a celebration of the essential role that libraries play in the cultural fabric of our cities, towns and villages.
Libraries are open to all, don’t discriminate in offering a sense of belonging and should be treasured for all that they bring to the life of the communities they serve.
During 2023, the 101 Stories Community Project led by Easingwold Community Library collected real stories told by the people of Easingwold and its surrounding communities.
Everyone has a story to tell, be it a funny tale, a touching reminiscence, an influential memory or a life-affirming experience. All the stories in this entertaining and heart-warming anthology are true, told by real people in their own words and in their own way.
If you’d like to own your own copy – and who wouldn’t – you can buy it from the Blurb Bookstore where you can also see a handy preview.
It makes a lovely gift with a truly local flavour!
Two-thirds of people may experience a mental health problem in their lifetime. Wellbeing Bags can 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 notice 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.
Reading Well can help you understand and manage your health and wellbeing using well-chosen books.
The collection has been put together by health experts and people living with particular conditions. The books are grouped into five Reading Well book lists for adults, young people and children. Many of the titles are available as free digital downloads using your North Yorkshire Libraries card.
If you’re not yet a library member just pop into the library and we’ll sort you out with a card in a couple of minutes. Or you can join online here.
