If anyone knows a kind soul that would be willing to replace the roof of the Little Library as the wood is rotting under the felt, please get in touch through the page or message me - Nat Smith. I've popped a temporary cover...however it's a really shocking attempt.

The library has been on Margaret Rd a few years now, It is well used by the children at Stoke Hill and wider community...it just needs a touch up (the roof). I can do the rest.

P.s books have been replenished today.

The summer reading challenge 2024 ‘Marvellous Makers’ officially launches on 6th July!

During the summer holidays we’ll have family-friendly events every day so make sure to check out what’s coming up in the library.

We want to help you and your child get ready to start school together!

To make sure your child is full of energy for the school day, try to develop a family routine in the morning and before bed. Knowing the pattern for getting up, getting dressed, eating meals and going to bed can help children feel more confident – they can predict what will happen next.

And why not build a daily story time into your routine? After breakfast, before dinner or once they’re tucked up in bed.
