As the library is growing and developing, we are looking for more volunteers to help with the day-to-day running of our services. We would like to initiate a ‘Friends of the Library’ scheme. It is envisaged that friends would not necessarily want to be hands-on in the library but would be happy to help run and enhance library-related activities and run fund-raising events. They might also help us in making the library a community hub, providing relevant talks, events and social activities.<\/span><\/p>\n We hope to recruit:<\/span><\/p>\n – those willing to step in as volunteers working in the library or to cover holidays and similar when needed and would be willing to give time to supporting events and activities.<\/span><\/p>\n – those with specific interests and skills who are willing to provide input in targeted areas such as talks or events.<\/span><\/p>\n – those who can offer their services to help raise funds for the library, either through events or other means fitted to their skills and interests.<\/span><\/p>\n – businesses or individuals who may be willing to contribute to library development through financial donations.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyone who feels that they have some contribution to make to the library will be happily welcomed into the scheme. If you feel you can help in any way, please send us an email or call into the library for a chat.<\/span><\/p>\n Book and Bakes – <\/strong>This was another successful event for the library. Many thanks to all who joined us, contributed and gave of their time.<\/span><\/p>\n Bus trip – <\/strong>We have a sell-out for the Bath trip and hope to organise other trips in the New Year. We\u2019ve had lots of requests to include: Cheltenham, the Cotswolds, and the Botanical Gardens. If you have any other suggestions, please let us know.<\/span><\/p>\n Christmas Raffle – <\/strong>We have two fabulous Marks and Spencer Christmas food and drink hampers to raffle. Tickets, at \u00a31 each, are available in the library. Join us for mince pies in the library for the draw at midday on Saturday 15th December.<\/span><\/p>\n Clwb Clonc – <\/strong>Our Clwb Clonc continues to go from strength to strength. We meet every Monday morning to enjoy a coffee and an opportunity to practise speaking Welsh. Speakers and learners of all levels attend. Given the success over the last 6<\/span><\/p>\n months, we intend to hold an additional monthly evening session, to welcome those who aren’t able to attend on Monday mornings. We anticipate that this will launch in the New Year and will be advertised in the What’s On. In the meantime, let us know of your interest. Please contact janet.tabor@ hotmail.com with any questions or suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\n Christmas Opening Hours <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Saturday 22nd December 9am to 1pm<\/span><\/p>\n Monday 24th December- closed<\/span><\/p>\n Tuesday 25th December – closed<\/span><\/p>\n Wednesday 26th December – closed<\/span><\/p>\n Saturday 29th December 10am to12noon<\/span><\/p>\n Monday 31st December 3pm to 5pm<\/span><\/p>\n Tuesday 1st January 2019 – closed<\/span><\/p>\n Wednesday 2nd January back to usual hours<\/span><\/p>\n New books for December <\/strong>– As well as our usual range of new books we would like to remind you that we are able to order copies of \u2018top sellers\u2019 and new publications of your choice. Just call in and we can browse the catalogue with you.<\/span><\/p>\n Off the Shelf <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Mill on the Floss by George Eliot (Marian Evans)<\/span><\/p>\n Maggie Tulliver is an impulsive, intelligent child with dark skin, dark hair, and dark eyes; a complexion viewed as disagreeable by her dumb-witted mother. She has a close bond with her brother Tom whose approval she yearns but doesn\u2019t always receive. Maggie\u2019s fate is followed as she grows into a remarkable young woman. Following her father\u2019s bankruptcy, Tom brings the family out of debt. He is secretly in love with his cousin Lucy Dean. Stephen Guest is courting Lucy Deane but falls in love with Maggie. Maggie must choose between her inner desires, moral responsibility and the need for her brother’s love<\/span><\/p>\n We all admired the character descriptions and the twists of the plots. The status of each family in society was artfully described through their attitudes, codes of conduct and behaviour, dress and so on. The emotional and moral dispositions of each character were revealed and contrasted. Some of us found it a challenging read, partly because of the physicality of the book and the antiquated English. It was an enjoyable read for which we gave an overall rating of 8.5<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Volunteers and Friends of the Library As the library is growing and developing, we are looking for more volunteers to help with the day-to-day running of our services.
