LIBRARY UPDATE
We were pleased to see so many of the Children’s books have gone to good homes. Please remember we do not wish to have them back! We will be buying some new
titles on Friday so suggestions would be appreciated. The notebook is on the filing
cabinet, or a note left on the desk with your name and address will be fine. If you are thinking of donating books to the library, please remember we cannot take too many. Please do not be offended if we ask you to find another alternative. Hospice, Salvation Army, and other Charity shops are always willing to have them. They must also reach our criteria. There is a notice on the wall above the Filing cabinet with these on. Look out for the new books at the end of next week!!
Gill, Arthur, and the Library team.
