Hello November!

As the leaves turn and the evenings draw in, there’s nowhere cosier than The Old Library. Pop in out of the drizzle, browse the shelves, and stay for a chat. You’ll always find a warm welcome here.

Thank you for a wonderful October 

What a month it was! Our Halloween Crafts Morning was full of paint, apple print pumpkins and some brilliant yarn mummies. Simon Day gave us a fascinating evening on the wildlife of Cromwell Bottom. And our Peppa’s Pumpkin Competition Storytime was a sea of little witches, ghosts and pumpkins. Thank you to every child, parent, grandparent and volunteer who joined us. You’re what makes this place so special.

See you soon!
