The library will be closing around lunchtime on Thursday 28th March to allow her colleagues to attend the funeral. Marie Curie Cancer Care  Volunteers are collecting outside the library once more this year. Please give generously to support this very worthy organisation and wear your daffodil with pride. Alison Gordon, Local Area Coordinator for Larkswood Ward will be in the library as part of the "Taking Time to Listen" campaign, on Mondays from 1-30PM to 4PM. Do come in to meet her!
