Why not pop into the library and have a look at our display of Banned Books. Find out why and where they were banned and how long ago it was and if they are still banned.

It’s fair to say that both the children and adults were blown away by our amazing RapSchool session with Rob aka Jack Flash.

A massive thank you to Rob for delivering this amazing session. Thanks for inspiring us and showing us how to create our own raps! Also, a big thank you to all the parents and grandparents who thoroughly engaged in this session.

The session was funded by NYC Locality Funding arranged by County Councillor David Jeffels.

Please note that the library may be a bit noisy and busy this afternoon between 2:30pm - 4:30pm due our Rap School event. If you are popping in to change children's books or play in the children's area, we would advise avoiding this time as the children's area will be difficult to access due to the session.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Have you seen our wonderful library volunteer scarecrow? - number 113 on the Ayton Scarecrow trail. If you haven’t wandered around the village to see the amazing scarecrows, then this weekend is your last chance as the event finishes on Sunday.
If you are walking around the trail tomorrow, don’t forget that the library is open from 10am until 1pm - so why not pop in to have a look at the crafts and pre-loved books that are for sale!

Today, we made waves, went to the sea, sea, sea and caught a fish alive! All thanks to the brilliant Kathy Seabrook Fun Music.

It was lovely to see so many parents joining in the fun with their little ones.

A huge thank you to the Hutton Buscel Educational Trust who helped fund this session.
