The wonderful management team at Croxley Park are holding a cake sale tomorrow. Last year they raised a staggering £800 for MacMillan, but they are hopeful that this year’s sale will top that!!
Cake will be available at The Crafted Kitchen in The Hive between 10am - 2pm

One of our members scored a majestic win at her son’s party by booking our fabulous football table. It fits neatly in the back of a car with folding seats, and after a short spurt of assembly tasks, it’s ready for kick off!

We are enormously grateful to CSL Group for all their hard work tidying the LoR today, and for making a tedious task so much fun.
Gotta love it when the community pulls together.

If you fancy a flutter whilst supporting local good causes, you could be in with a chance of winning £25,000!
If on the other hand you like to score a definite win, pop in to the library to grab some lottery merch courtesy of the lottery team at Watford Council

We’ve recently met one of our lovely neighbours at the business park, who runs an amazing not for profit that uses music as a means to connect with and support people.
Ryan offers music lessons, group work, recording spaces, hot food and a place to hang out…..he really is one of life’s good guys (and I’m not just saying that because he gave us a football table)
If you love music and love a community hangout, pop in and see the Good Vibrations guys, they’ll make you very welcome

We’ve received a few messages informing us that the library is a bit tricky to find online. We think it’s because our website has not gone live yet, so here is a direct link to the part of our website where all the joining and borrowing happens.
Hope this is a suitable short term solution until we’ve gone live.
Please keep spreading the word, and if you fancy a snoop around, we’re here every Thursday (4pm - 7pm) and Saturday (9am - 12pm)

This week the library has featured between the covers of both The Watford Observer and Croxley News.
Please keep liking and sharing our content so that we can reach as many folk as possible

Watford's MP Matt Turmaine visited the new scheme and donated a 5ft Jenga set in the process. Here's what makes it so great.

We were recently visited by our local MP Matt Turmaine who has very kindly gifted us a giant jenga set for our leisure department.
The jury is still out on whether it was Vic or Matt who actually won the game, but the library has definitely scored a win with such a great addition to our stock of things.
Thanks Matt, we are incredibly grateful
