** 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!

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.
