New! Kids Book Club for ages 7-10

Mondays from 16:00-17:00 during term time

Our new Kids Book Club is a chance for ages 7-10 to explore books and writing in a fun way through drama, games, rhymes and by sharing experiences of reading with other like minded young people. The group is run by a volunteer who used to be a teacher and is enthusiastic about encouraging young people to read more and enjoy sharing literature together.

Kick off the new year with Chairobics!

Thursdays from 14:00 - 15:00

Please CLICK HERE to sign up online or stop by the library to sign up in person. Sessions will be held upstairs in the library.

Chairobics is chair-based exercise. This is a gentle, low-impact class designed to improve strength, flexibility, balance and coordination - all from the comfort and safety of a chair. Perfect for those with limited mobility, recovering from illness or injury, or anyone who prefers a supported form of exercise.

Shared Reading Group will resume on Tuesday, February 3rd.

Meetings are held on 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, beginning February 3rd. Free of charge, but please CLICK HERE to book your space online.

Our Shared Reading groups bring people together to talk, laugh, and share. Each session, we read a story or poem and then discuss it. You can say anything you want to, or just listen. No experience or preparation needed.
