Hello all,
As I'm sure you know, we are lucky to still have a library in Leominster, many areas have lost theirs due to cuts over the last few years. This is partly due to the support the library receives from the local community and the numbers who are library members, and also because of campaigning by the Friends of Leominster Library (FOLL) and similar groups around Herefordshire.
FOLL also raises funds to support activities at the local library, especially for children and young people, and to purchase items such as new chairs, a mike stand and recently the new library tablets. We do this by hosting meetings and other events twice a year. Last year we invited Ellie Chowns MP to come and speak and also hosted a Poetry Slam, both very well attended.
For our first event this year we have invited Kasia D***s to speak on 'The Life of a Funeral Director: Dispelling the Myths' which promises to be both entertaining and enlightening. This will be at the library on Friday 20th March at 7pm, tickets £6.00, available from the TIC or direct from me (07961795466). I do hope you can join us. I have attached a poster for this event and would really appreciate it if you can share/post it and help us promote it in any other way.
If you are not already a member of FOLL, please do consider joining us. You can pick up a membership form next time you visit the library.
Thank you,
Felicity Norman
Chair of FOLL
