BCL is run by an amazing team of volunteers who are essential to keep the library open - both in terms of staffing and providing the library service but also in the background as Trustees that run the charity, activity leaders, fund-raisers ,administrators, wellbeing and heritage ambassadors. 

We are a volunteer run library, organising lots of activities and events for the community to promote life long learning, wellbeing and heritage and encouraging community connection for all. We want to develop the site to realise its potential with better access and more space for community benefit. And to do these, we need you!
