Every book borrowed, every child attending a programme, every new member joining, and every friendly conversation reminds us why we love what we do.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to everyone who has donated books and other items to the library. Your generosity helps us create a welcoming space for our community and supports the many programmes and services we offer.

Thank you for being part of the Edgemead Library family.

Together, you help make our library so much more than just a place for books. ✨❤️

A big thank you to one of our followers for inspiring us to jump on the BookTok trend with Tana French.
We’ve been matching her books with songs that fit the mood perfectly, from quiet tension to full-on psychological twists.

If you’ve read Tana French, you know… she doesn’t miss. 👀

What should we match next?
Drop your favourite author or book series and we’ll turn it into our next “books + songs” feature

Patron: "Libraries can't be that busy on a Saturday..." 🤔

Meanwhile at Edgemead Library: 👀📚🎨🧸

We love seeing our library come alive! We're not just a place for books......we're a place for stories, imagination, learning, laughter, and a little bit of happy chaos.

A messy children's section usually means one thing: lots of young minds were busy exploring.

And honestly? We wouldn't have it any other way. ❤️
