Update on Services from Shortlands Library

Adam and Gemma

Due to the temporary closure of Shortlands Library, GLL (who operate the library) has made arrangements to hire a room at St Mary’s Church on Monday mornings.

GLL will run a library activity programme between 9.30am and 1.00pm including:

  • Children's activities- Baby Rhyme Time/Little Crafters
  • Adult activities - coffee morning, reading group, playreading group.

They are also working on options for click and collect books.

Investigative work on the building continues, and we keep residents updated as we know more.
