We are delighted to have some new volunteers on board and if anyone else is considering volunteering, please get in touch at the library. Please ask for Julie Grace or Jacqui Williams or leave your details so they can contact you.
Huge thanks to all those who donated children’s books for us to pass on to Family Support workers from Leicestershire County Council. Books were wrapped by County Council staff and included in hampers for families needing additional support. It has made such a difference to families over Christmas. Do pop in and take a look at the books on our second-hand book shelves which have been supplemented by some additions which are very recent publications. The amount raised by these donations by re sale are very much welcomed as part of our fundraising. Please note that from time to time we may have to refuse donations if we become overwhelmed with more than we can store. If you have any ideas or comments, get in touch at markfieldlibrary@gmail.com and have your say.
We have had several new groups interested in operating from the library.
