This week is National Volunteers' Week. It's an opportunity to say thank you to the dedicated band of volunteers that we have at Whickham Volunteer Library. For nine years they've worked to make sure that we keep open our excellent library, in the centre of our village, to ensure it's a warm and welcoming space, and to keep growing what the library offers to our community.

Thank you to all of them!

In what they've described as "blistering" heat our intrepid walkers are well on their way on the Abbeys Way walk.

They're trekking over 100km in beautiful Scottish scenery, and sent a few pics for us to admire. We certainly admire their fortitude.

They're sponsored on behalf of Whickham Library. Please support them, and your library, by donating. You can drop off a donation at the Library, or you can visit the JustGiving page at https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/wvlageorgeandalansponsoredwalk
Or - use the QR code in the pics.

Thank you.
