HOW TO BOOK
You can book by calling into the library, ringing 01609 534584 or emailing ecl.generalenquiries@gmail.com
Storytime
Storytime – every Thursday during term time from 10.15am to 11.00am. FREE story readings for under 5s accompanied by a parent or carer. There’s no need to book; just rock up. We’re pushchair-friendly too – you can park them inside the library.
Pull on those comfy seven-league boots, shoulder your faithful old knapsack, and install the magic bean app on your phone. Then stroll 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.
Whilst it’s great that Storytime is popular, due to increasing numbers and the limited space available we’re not able to accommodate children from childcare providers. Thank you for your understanding.
Knit & Natter
Knit & Natter, 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.
