Just before Christmas Kath Garrett, Assistant Librarian, retired from the library. Again we all were very sad to see Kath go and miss her very much already.

We have a new Schools Librarian, Sarah Johnson who will organising our book exchanges for schools and developing new ideas to support teachers and pupils this year.

The library raised £400.41 for Children In Need this year

Over the Autumn a lot of kind and generous people donated spare wool and knitted or crocheted lots of cute items for us to sell. During November we sold all the adorable items to our young members and their parents - pocket-money prices from 50p to £3 - with a lot of people giving more than was asked.

Although they didn't want the attention we'd like to thank everyone who donated wool and everyone who gave their time and creativity to make such irresistible items -

Mrs Pat Cousins

Brigid Jones

Sarah Kinrade

Mrs Tyrer

Mary West

Mrs Gorry

Lynn Kermode

Mrs Wilson

Mrs Herring

Children from Fairfield School

Mrs Keig

Mrs Leeming's Mother

Mrs Phoenix

Cath Dudley

Mrs Edmunds

Jill Dunlop

Mary Holmes

Mary Marshall

Noleene Osborn

Mrs Craine

We'd also like to thank everyone who bought the animals, teddies, book bugs, dolls and baby clothes, babushkas...

THANK YOU for making this event such a success and giving so generously to Children In Need
