Tuesday 15th 1:30pm – Readers’ Circle

Held on the third Tuesday of each month, our Readers’ Circle is perfect for anyone who enjoys books and conversation. No set book—just bring along something you’ve read recently and share recommendations with others.

Wednesday 23rd, 3:00pm – Cuppa with a Coppa

Summer Fun at the Hub

The Hub has been full of colour, creativity and laughter this summer. We held two free children’s craft activity days, both of which were extremely successful and attracted an enthusiastic group of young visitors. The children enjoyed getting creative, trying new activities and proudly taking their finished crafts home with them. It was wonderful to see the Hub buzzing with so much energy and to welcome families from across the village.

On 21 August, the Hub also hosted a very special Tiger Who Came to Tea-themed tea party for children aged four to eight. Inspired by Judith Kerr’s much-loved story, the afternoon included tiger-themed games, crafts and activities, together with a delicious party tea. There was plenty of fun, imagination and, of course, a little tiger mischief along the way.

These events would not have been possible without the volunteers who gave their time to plan the activities, prepare the food and decorations, and help everything run smoothly. Our thanks go to everyone who contributed and to all the children, parents and carers who joined us and made the events such a success.

Following such a positive response, we hope to arrange more children’s activities at the Hub in the future.

 

A New Season of Talks at the Hub

Our popular Talks at the Hub programme returns in September for another season of interesting and entertaining evenings. The talks cover a wide variety of subjects, with previous speakers sharing fascinating stories and expertise on local history, literature, science, health, heritage, nature and many other topics. They offer an enjoyable opportunity to discover something new, meet friends and enjoy a sociable evening in the welcoming surroundings of Wenvoe Community Library Hub.

Talks are held at 7:00pm on Friday evenings and full details of each event – including the speaker, subject, date and ticket arrangements – will be advertised at the Hub and on our Facebook page.

Tony Hodges will open the season with his presentation, Two Entrepreneurs Who Made Penarth Their Home. His talk will explore the lives and achievements of John Kyte Collett (1836–1933) and his nephew, Frederick Speed – two enterprising figures whose work contributed to the development and history of Penarth. The evening promises to offer a fascinating glimpse into the people, enterprise and ambitions that helped shape our neighbouring town.

Our talks are always popular, so early booking is recommended. We look forward to welcoming familiar faces and new visitors when the new season begins in September.

Keep Cool at Wenvoe Library Hub

With another spell of hot weather, Wenvoe Library Hub is offering a welcoming Cool Space where you can take a break from the heat.

During our normal opening hours, you are welcome to:

  • Enjoy a cool drink of water
  • Rest in a shaded, air-conditioned space
  • Sit, read, chat or simply cool down

Everyone is welcome.

Staying safe in hot weather

  • Check on vulnerable neighbours, older relatives and young children.
  • Avoid strenuous activity and direct sunlight during the hottest part of the afternoon.
  • Keep curtains and blinds closed during the day to reduce heat inside your home.
  • Drink water regularly, even if you do not feel thirsty.

 

Wenvoe Library Hub — a warm welcome and a cool place when you need it.

 

 

 

Wenvoe Community Council Engagement Day

WENVOE COMMUNITY COUNCIL ENGAGEMENT DAY
AND WENVOE COMMUNITY LIBRARY/HUB 10th ANNIVERSARY

Wenvoe Community Council and Wenvoe Community Library/Hub are joining forces for a very special community celebration on Saturday 3 October, from 11.00am to 4.00pm, at Wenvoe Community Centre.

This promises to be a wonderful family day out, with something for visitors of all ages. There will be stalls to browse, activities and displays to enjoy, and a barbecue serving food throughout the day. It will be an excellent opportunity to meet local organisations, discover what is happening in and around Wenvoe, and celebrate everything that makes our village such a lively and welcoming community.

We are delighted that the day will also include a special guest performance by Craig Yates of Only Men Aloud and Johnny Tudor who both live here in Wenvoe.

The event marks an important milestone for Wenvoe Community Library/Hub, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary. Over the past decade, the Hub has grown into far more than a place to borrow books. Run and managed by volunteers, it now provides a welcoming meeting place and a wide programme of talks, groups, children’s activities, outings and community events. The anniversary will be a chance to celebrate its achievements and thank everyone who has supported it along the way.

Tables will be available inside the Community Centre for village groups wishing to promote their activities, recruit new members or display their work. Local businesses are also warmly invited to take part and showcase the products or services they offer. Any group or business interested in reserving a table should contact Councillor Janet Williams at j.williams@wenvoecouncil.org.

Please note that the Community Centre car park will be closed for the event, as it will be used to accommodate the marquee. Visitors are encouraged to walk to the celebration wherever possible and to park considerately elsewhere in the village.

Make a note of the date and come along to meet friends and neighbours, support local groups and businesses, and help us celebrate ten successful years of Wenvoe Community Library Hub.

Cream Tea and Prosecco Afternoon

Our Cream Tea and Prosecco Afternoon proved to be one of our most enjoyable social events of the year, attracting a full house. The Hub was filled with lovely people who came to enjoy scones, strawberries and cream, while relaxing with a glass of Prosecco or soft drink.

More than anything, the afternoon was about bringing people together. The room was alive with laughter, conversation and the happy buzz of friends catching up and new friendships being made. It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying each other’s company in such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The event was a great success, thanks to the hard work of our volunteers, and it perfectly demonstrated what the Hub is all about—not just books, but creating opportunities for people to meet, socialise and feel part of the community. We hope to make afternoons like this a regular feature of our events programme.

Celebrations

In September 2026, Wenvoe Community Library Hub will celebrate ten years as a community-managed library. Reaching a decade of continuous operation is a significant achievement for any volunteer-led organisation and reflects the dedication of our volunteers, supporters and the wider community.

To mark this important anniversary, the Library Hub will join with the Wenvoe Community Council’s Community Engagement Event on Saturday 3rd October. The celebration will provide an opportunity to reflect on ten years of achievement, recognise the many people who have contributed to the library’s success, and look ahead to the next chapter in its development.

Do you remember the old library?

Before it became our modern Community Library Hub, the library was housed in what many will remember as the old school classroom. Perhaps you learnt there as a pupil, borrowed your first library book there, or have a funny story or special memory to share.

As we prepare to celebrate 10 years of Wenvoe Community Library Hub, we’re collecting memories and photographs from throughout the library’s history. We’d love to hear your stories—big or small—as they all help tell the story of this special place. If you have any memories, photographs or anecdotes, please get in touch: wenvoelibrary@outlook.com

Readers Circle (Held on the third Tuesday of the month at the Hub)
Tuesday 16 June, 1.30 pm.

What a lively and engaging afternoon. As always, one book led to another, and before we knew it, we had a wonderful discussion covering a wide range of authors, genres and recommendations.

It was a pleasure to welcome our visitor, Victoria, who joined us from the tiny county of Rutland.

Here are just a few of the books that sparked conversation:

The Book of Birds – Robert Macfarlane & Jackie Morris

Tuesdays with Morrie – Mitch Albom

The Place of Tides – James Roberts

A Terrible Kindness – Jo Browning Roe

The New Neighbours – Clare Douglas

We’ll do our best to add these titles to the library’s collection wherever possible.

Whether you’ve recently discovered a brilliant read, have a book you didn’t enjoy, or simply love listening to others talk about books, we’d love you to join us. There’s no pressure—just bring a favourite book or simply bring yourself!

Cuppa with a Coppa
Staying Safe Online A Timely Reminder

We were delighted to welcome Owen, Cyber Protect & Prevent Officer with South Wales Police, to the Hub for an informative and engaging session on cybercrime and online safety.

As fraudsters continue to develop increasingly convincing scams, Owen reminded us that anyone can become a victim. Criminals now impersonate banks, delivery companies, government departments, utility providers and even family members, often creating a false sense of urgency to persuade people to act before they have time to think.

His advice was simple: Stop. Think. Check. Never feel pressured into clicking a link, scanning a QR code, transferring money or sharing personal information.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and verify the request using a telephone number or website you have found independently—not one provided in the message.

Owen highlighted several free services that everyone should know about:

Report Fraud is the national reporting service for fraud and cybercrime in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Even if you have not lost money, reporting suspicious emails, websites, phone calls and messages helps build intelligence that can prevent others becoming victims. If you have lost money or believe you have been targeted, report it as soon as possible

Have I Been Pwned? ( http://www.haveibeenpwned.com) is a trusted website that allows you to check whether your email address has appeared in a known data breach. If your details have been compromised, the site explains which breach they appeared in and enables you to take action, such as changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication.

7726 (which spells SPAM on a mobile phone keypad) is a free reporting service supported by all the major UK mobile networks. If you receive a suspicious text message, simply forward it to 7726. If you receive a scam call, you can text 7726 with the word CALL, followed by the telephone number. These reports help mobile providers identify and block scam messages and numbers before they reach more people.

One final piece of advice is worth remembering: never be embarrassed if you think you’ve been caught out. Criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and scams are designed to deceive intelligent, careful people. If in doubt, ask a friend, family member or someone you trust before taking any action.

A few minutes spent checking could save a great deal of worry, inconvenience and financial loss.

The next Cuppa with a Coppa meeting Wednesday is August 5th at 3pm

You can follow us on: Wenvoe Library Hub. This is where we will also be advertising new books, up and coming events, talks, etc.

What to do if a child would like to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge 2026:

The children are required to read six books over the summer holidays. We register two books at a time, so the children have at least three visits to the Library over the holidays. Those who have not done so are encouraged to join the library and are issued with their own ticket.

  • 1st visit: Children sign up with registration form and choose their books
  • 2nd visit: Once the children have read their first 2 books they receive their Read to the Beat Folder, their first two character stickers and a bookmark
  • 3rd visit: When the children have read 4 books, they are given a POP badge and the next two character stickers
  • 4th visit: When the children have read all 6 books, they are given a medal on a lanyard and the final two character stickers

 

It is very important that all the books read are registered on the form. Last year one or two children who had completed the challenge did not receive their certificates and in two instances their prizes for being Super readers because the books they had read had not been registered.

Certificates for completion will be presented after the Challenge has officially closed. Children who have read more than six books are considered to be Super Readers and are given a book voucher to the value of £10. Prizes and certificates are presented during a school assembly making it a suitably important occasion.

A Wonderful Day at the Hay Festival

Our recent trip to the Hay Festival was a great success, with a coach full of enthusiastic festival goers enjoying a day of books, ideas, and entertainment in the beautiful Hay-on-Wye.

The weather was kind, and everyone had the opportunity to explore the festival site, browse the many bookshops and exhibitor stalls, enjoy the excellent food and drink on offer, and attend a wide variety of talks and events.

Many passengers commented on the friendly atmosphere and the quality of the speakers; several have already expressed an interest in joining future trips.

A big thank you to everyone who supported the outing and helped make it such an enjoyable day. We look forward to organising more community trips in the future.

Events in July

As well as our regular weekly activities throughout July, we have several special and monthly events taking place at the Hub.

Tuesday 7th at 1:30pm – Gardening Group Our friendly monthly gardening group meets on the first Tuesday of each month. Share tips, ideas, successes, and seasonal inspiration with fellow gardening enthusiasts.

Wednesday 8th at 3:00pm – Special Cuppa with a Coppa: Cybercrime Awareness. Cybercrime affects us all and can have a particularly devastating impact on older and more vulnerable members of our community. Criminals use emails, text messages, phone calls, social media and websites to steal money, personal information, and identities.

Common scams include phishing emails and texts, romance scams, investment fraud, fake bank communications, and account hacking. The good news is that a few simple online safety habits can dramatically reduce your risk of becoming a victim. This is an informative and practical session explaining how cybercriminals operate, the warning signs to look out for, and the simple steps you can take to protect yourself, your family, and your finances.

If you have received a suspicious email, text message, or phone call, or are concerned about something that has appeared on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone, please bring your device along. Owen, our cybercrime officer, will be happy to offer advice and guidance. Join us for some valuable advice that could help keep you safe online.

Tuesday 21st at 1:30pm – Readers’ Circle Held on the third Tuesday of each month, our Readers’ Circle is perfect for anyone who enjoys books and conversation. No set book – just bring along something you’ve read recently and share recommendations with others.

Telecare Service at Wenvoe Community Library Hub

Telecare is a service provided by the Vale of Glamorgan that helps people live independently and safely in their own homes. For a monthly fee, users are provided with an alarm system and a personal alarm, worn either as a pendant on a neck cord or as a wristwatch. In the event of a fall, illness, or emergency, the user can press the alarm button to speak directly with a Telecare operator through the home unit. The operator can then contact a family member, carer, or emergency services if required.

Wenvoe Community Library Hub is now able to provide replacement Telecare watch straps and neck cords. No personal details are required to obtain these replacement items. The Hub can also accept the return of Telecare equipment. This may be necessary if a user has moved into long-term residential care or has passed away. Returned equipment should be placed in a bag clearly labelled with the name and address of the person to whom it belonged and handed to a Hub volunteer.

Please ensure that Telecare has been informed that the equipment is being returned and that Wenvoe Community Library Hub has been nominated as the return location.

Serve up the start of summer in true Centre Court style. Join us for a relaxed afternoon of strawberries, scone, jam & cream and a chilled glass of Prosecco – the perfect pairing ahead of Wimbledon fortnight. Tickets £7.50 Game, set, match… and a lovely afternoon at the Hub.

Toddler Toddle May 13th

Despite the cold wind, the children – together with their parents, grandparents and childminders – were not deterred from setting off on a sponsored toddle and buggy push around the village to help raise funds for the Library Hub.

Starting from the Library Hub, the group made their way past the school and into Gwenfô Drive in search of pictures strategically placed in friends’ gardens along the route.

Jill had a picture of a piano, while Sylvia displayed Peppa Pig. Along the way, the children also spotted pictures of bubbles, a reindeer, a dinosaur and a sunflower, before finishing back at the library with a picture, appropriately enough, of books.

The sponsored toddle raised over £100 towards the ongoing upkeep and running costs of the Library Hub. Many thanks to all who took part.

The Babies and Toddlers group meets every Wednesday, including during school holidays, at the Library Hub from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. New families are always welcome.

Plant Sale

We had a wonderful turnout for the Plant Sale on 16th May, which raised an impressive £370 towards supporting the Library Hub.

A huge thank you to Clare, who organised the event and generously supplied the majority of the plants. Thanks also go to the volunteers who helped throughout the morning, everyone who donated plants, and all those who came along to browse and buy.

There was a lovely atmosphere outside the Hub, with a great selection of flowering plants, vegetables, and pots finding new homes. Events like this not only help raise valuable funds but also bring the community together in such a positive way. We are extremely grateful for everyone’s support.

Summer Reading Challenge 2026

The Summer Reading Challenge encourages All Primary School and Nursery children to keep reading during the summer holidays, ensuring they are ready for a great start to the new term in the autumn. Children set a reading goal and collect rewards for reading anything they enjoy. Children will be able to sign up at the Wenvoe Hub from July and it’s FREE to take part.

This year’s Challenge is called Read to the Beat and it is all about inspiring children to explore the connection between storytelling and music. It celebrates the joy and the power of music through the magic of reading.

The 2026 Summer Reading Challenge will be launched in the Wenvoe Hub on Thursday 2nd July; the day the school has their final visit before the summer holidays. Each child will be invited to come to the Hub and sign up to read at least 6 books over the summer holiday. They can be anything they enjoy: comic books, picture books, non-fiction and fiction. From Saturday 4th July, our volunteer librarians will be on Summer Reading Challenge stand-by.

Last year our children did well. Many completed the challenge and were awarded a special certificate and a medal. We had a number of Super Readers, children who read more than six books. They received a special reward to celebrate their achievement in the form of a book token.

Let’s hope we can do even better this year. So, let’s get Reading!

Talks at the Hub

The Incredible Story of Benito Mussolini: Fascist Dictator of Italy

with Ross Thomas

Friday 17 April, 7.00pm

Tickets £5 – available from the Hub

Benito Mussolini ruled Italy from 1922 until his death in 1945. His life is one of the most extraordinary – and often bizarre – stories of any modern political leader, containing elements of both dark comedy and tragedy.

This fascinating talk explores Mussolini’s unlikely rise from relatively humble beginnings to absolute power. It examines the dramatic changes he imposed on Italy, the ambitions and disasters of his regime, and the startling details of his turbulent private life.

The story concludes with Mussolini’s fateful alliance with Hitler, Italy’s descent into war, and his dramatic end at the hands of his own people in 1945.
