Book Sale and Paper Pastimes
Come to the library on Saturday 10th May between 10am - 2pm for tea, coffee and cake (for a donation to the library). Browse the book sale, or just come and sit, chat, bring your craft project or a board game, do some colouring, do a jigsaw, or work on a writing project - just relax and stay for as long as you like. You don't need to be a member of the library or be keen on reading, come and enjoy our shared community space at Walkley Library. This is part of our Public Living Rooms project, which is just a relaxed way of looking out for each other.
As well as the book sale, we will also be hosting a Paper Pastimes for the little ones. Children can make a cute bookmark, a paperchain and more! Own crafting projects are also encouraged.
