We had a visit this morning from local children's author Melanie Carr. Melanie came along to read and tell us all about the book she has written called Where Next - Skipton.

Children enjoyed listening to the story all about the local area and places of interest.

Thank you for visiting Melanie, we had a lovely morning.

Someone has kindly donated quite a few Simply Crochet magazines and even included some of their special supplements.

These, and plenty of other magazines, are free to take home as part of our Magazine Swap. Even though we run it 52 weeks of the year, we love to highlight it during

So if you or someone you know loves to crochet, feel free to drop in and help yourself to a magazine or two, or even drop off some magazines you are finished with for someone else to enjoy.

Our half term activities at the library kick off on Monday and we're excited!

On Monday morning, we have an author visit. Mel will be in the library launching her new book - Where Next? Skipton. There will be readings of the book at 10:30am and 11am and also some crafty bits for the kids to do. This event is suitable for ages 2 - 8.

On Monday afternoon, drop in any time to our 'crafternoon' with Gilly and Rebecca, and have a go at making something spooky to decorate the library. This event is suitable for ages 3 - 12 and runs from 2:30pm until 4pm.

And of course, there are books to borrow for some half term reading.

As it's we wanted to remind you about our Eco Area, which is at the top of the stairs.

We have dedicated drawers for recycling reading glasses, wool, bras, hearing aids, stamps, magazines and jigsaws.

If you want to donate or recycle any of these items, just drop them off in the appropriate drawer, or ask a member of staff to help.
