We’re sorry to say that we will no longer have children’s books for sale in the library… 😔

Because they’re now free instead! 🎉🥳🎊

Find children’s books in the foyer that are free to take and keep! If you have any unwanted children’s books at home then please feel free to drop them off with us

The horror’s persist… and for once we’re okay with that!

We are very excited to have received the new National Year of Reading Horror collection 💀

From creepy crawly infestations to possessed teddy bears, this collection features a multitude of twisted tales to intrigue and terrify in equal measure! Read if you dare…

Like a Tree is coming to Stowmarket Library!

Join us on 12th September for this whimsical puppet show about a child and a young tree growing together as they learn about friendship and the delicate balance between people and the natural world.

Performed from a charming vintage pram puppet theatre, this interactive experience invites audiences of all ages to pause, play, and reconnect with the world around them.

Entry is free but booking in advance is encouraged.

Our gorgeous Gwel stopped by for another visit today, just look at that happy tail! Wagging so fast it’s a blur! 😅

She’s a very calm and gentle girl, so if your child is nervous around dogs and would like to overcome their fears at their own pace then feel free to come along.
For children used to dogs then Gwel loves a cuddle, and she’s always keen for a story to be read to her 🤗

Val & Gwel will be away at the end of September, so their next visits with us will be 1st, 15th, and 29th October.

Get in touch if you’d like to book a session!

When a book is so good, the only reasonable thing to do is call the Men in Black so you can read it again for the first time 🚀👽🪐

Let us know in the comments which books you would love to read again for the very first time!

Reminder that Val & Gwel will be with us tomorrow morning! If you’d like to book a cuddle session with Gwelly then send us an email or give us a call 🐶
