School News. We look forward to library visits from Wenvoe School.

The 2019 theme will be Space Chase, an out-of-this-world adventure inspired by the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. In addition, we look forward to entries from the Village School in the September Village Show. More details to follow.
Pop-up Book Stalls. We continue to hold our successful pop-ups. Look out for us outside the Village Stores over the next few months with a selection of good-quality donated books at reasonable prices.
Home Service. If you have mobility problems and are finding it difficult to visit the library, we offer a home service where we can deliver, return and even help you choose your books. Please contact us for further details.
Volunteers. As our range of services are expanding, we need more volunteers. If you have a few spare hours a month to help us in any way, please email us or call into the library for an informal chat and a warm welcome.
