Thanks to Library Trustee Mike Grace, the children’s area now has a comfy cushions, a rug, toys and provides a lovely spot for children to browse the books and get reading.

Look out for more improvements coming soon – such as a cosy seating area, where we hope parents can relax with a cuppa and a book or magazine, and watch their children in the park (I hear a donated sofa is on its way, thanks to Lynne Childerley).  Debs Taylor has started a magazine exchange too – so please do bring any magazines that you have read along to the library and swap for something different.

If you hear of any unwanted items that may be of use to us in creating a welcoming library – we rely on donations to keep our library running – so please think of us and get in touch: askalibrarian@ansteylibrary.com
