Get Creative!
Our very popular free series of GET CREATIVE! FUN & FRIENDLY ART SESSIONS continues on Wednesday 18th November. This session is a chance for you to try your hand at simple sketching.
Hosted and guided by the very talented local artist Jacquie Sheffield – see her fabulous mini-exhibition at the library – it’s a great chance to try your hand at something new, whatever your artistic ability.
The session is free and all materials are provided. It runs from 10am until 12 Noon.
There are limited places so you’ll need to book. Call into the library, ring us on 01609 534584 or email: ecl.generalenquiries@gmail.com.
Look out also for the final session in the series:
Creating Christmas Cards – Wednesday 16th December. 10am to 12 Noon.
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.
