Advent Windows

We have had a tremendous response for our Advent Windows on our Wenvoe Community Library Facebook page. Many thanks to all those in our community who read, sang and played us into Christmas.

Facebook Storytime

Following the success of the above, and the additional followers signed up to our Facebook page, we will be uploading weekly videos of stories, book excerpts, poems and songs delivered by our talented community members. If you would like to contribute, please email us, we’d love to hear from you.
