We are very proud to be taking part in this year's Refugee Week, the world's largest arts and culture festival celebrating the contributions, resilience and creativity of refugees.

Please visit the library to see a display of beautiful hand-printed botanical monoprints made by people in our community. Created in sessions run by Honeyscribe, a Devon-based arts charity, in an extension of the award-winning ‘The Gatherers’ project.

Participants included people attending Open Door Exmouth and several ESOL classes across the town, including our own Conversation Café which meets on Friday afternoons. Many of those taking part have resettled in Exmouth after leaving countries affected by war or from parts of the global south already experiencing the impacts of climate change.

Through working with the warm and welcoming groups supporting these communities, the beautiful British wild springtime flowers inspired a series of joyful creative sessions that bought people together and celebrated some of the things we have in common.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Lucien, who leads our CoderDojo sessions here at Exmouth Library, has been awarded the Libraries Unlimited Fantastic Fundraiser Award 2026! 🏆

His dedication has helped countless young people discover the joy of coding. Not only does he run the brilliant weekly sessions, he also uses his company’s volunteer days to give even more time and energy to the club. Thanks to his passion, local businesses have generously donated equipment, supported the club, and helped us stay up‑to‑date so even more children can get hands‑on with technology.

A huge thank you to Lucien - and to all of our other amazing volunteers who give their time to support our library 💚
