Whilst away on her recent travels Yun-Ling visited a strange island where she befriended a young T-Rex she has since named Dewdrop. Despite the fact Dewdrop seemed to take a dislike to our mobile driver Mark, Yun-Ling assures us he is actually very tame. Keep an eye out for Dewdrop at some of our Bounce & Rhyme and Mini Movers sessions going forward.

Coming to a screen near you soon (or never):

Crocodile 'Yun-Ling' Dundee: Legend of the Outback Library Assistant.

*The plot: On a trip to the wilds of the outback, Yun-Ling tames a fierce wild-eyed crocodile to become a part of Dereham Library's Stay & Play equipment. Watch her as she struggles with the foam beast whilst trying to get it sideways through the door, drags it to the children's area, then tests its strength, all so the children can be safe and have fun.

*In real life all it took was an email and a delivery driver. In fairness, given it is as tall as Yun-Ling, she did struggle a little bit.

The Crisis and Resilience Service (CRS) will be at the library every Tuesday, offering friendly support to people experiencing financial hardship.

The service can provide advice and support with things such as food, energy and heating costs, essential household items, clothing, transport and digital essentials.

They can also help with budgeting, finding additional financial support and connecting you with other local advice and support services.
