A Volunteer Run Organisation <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nDid you know that Wenvoe Community Library\/Hub is a volunteer run organisation? Our wonderful Volunteers give their time freely as do the Management Team.<\/p>\n
We rely on our own fundraising to pay for all our costs, which include heating, lighting, insurance, and coffee machine, in order for everyone to benefit from this wonderful community space. We do not receive any funding from other sources.<\/p>\n
We would like to thank all those individuals who have supported our fundraising activities, and we hope to see you again together with your friends and families in the future, to enjoy our full and varied programme of events that we have planned throughout the year. Join our Facebook and Instagram pages for up and coming events. We will also advertise on the Wenvoe Community Facebook page.<\/p>\n
We couldn’t do it without you – thank you !<\/p>\n
\nPre-Wimbledon Warm-Up at the Hub Saturday 27th June at 2.00pm<\/strong><\/p>\nServe 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 \u00a37.50 Game, set, match\u2026 and a lovely afternoon at the Hub.<\/p>\n
Toddler Toddle May 13th<\/strong><\/p>\nDespite 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.<\/p>\n
Starting from the Library Hub, the group made their way past the school and into Gwenf\u00f4 Drive in search of pictures strategically placed in friends\u2019 gardens along the route.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The sponsored toddle raised over \u00a3100 towards the ongoing upkeep and running costs of the Library Hub. Many thanks to all who took part.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Plant Sale<\/strong><\/p>\nWe had a wonderful turnout for the Plant Sale on 16th May, which raised an impressive \u00a3370 towards supporting the Library Hub.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s support.<\/p>\n
Summer Reading Challenge 2026<\/strong><\/p>\nThe 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\u2019s FREE to take part.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s hope we can do even better this year. So, let\u2019s get Reading!<\/p>\n
Events in June<\/strong><\/p>\nAs well as our regular weekly activities throughout June, we also have several special and monthly events taking place at the Hub. Whether you enjoy gardening, reading, good company, or simply a relaxed afternoon out, we would be delighted to welcome you.<\/p>\n
