Grand Autumn Clear-out

We’re having a clear-out of our library and archive area.

If you’d like to help, you can do so in a number of ways:

  • Come along Thursday 1st and/or Friday 2nd October to help move boxes and tidy up. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty in and bring along a duster!
  • Do you have any spare plastic boxes that you would like to donate to the library? We’re looking for plastic boxes with lids, ideally around 55 x 30 x 40 cm (or 22″ x 11.5″ x 15.5″) in size.

  • Or you could lend us trolleys for heavy lifting.
  • We’re also looking for wooden pallets – if you have any or know of anyone who would like to get rid of some of them let us know!
