FoDL News

​March 2025

​

Thank you to those who have subscribed to the library and/or increased your subscriptions because of our appeal for support last month. There’s still room for more though. You can sign up at any time, either by downloading the subscription form on our site at https://tinyurl.com/5n7dzppa or by picking up a form at the library. Standing orders can be increased via online banking or by completing a new form to supersede the existing one  or simply get in touch by

email at fodlbooks@gmail.com for support.

​

 

As you will have seen in previous news, we have a fundraising Curry Night on 2 April at Bengal Spice, with sincere thanks to Naz and his team. We will have two sittings, at 6.30pm and 8.30pm at £25.00 a head and we’ll have a raffle at each with some super prizes on offer.

Tickets are available at Nellie & Dove, Hamptons and the library.

We’re only able to accept cash or contact us on our email above to arrange an online payment.

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a wonderful evening.

​

 

Last but not least, as the weather is finally improving (fingers crossed) and the evenings are getting lighter, we’d like to remind you to start capturing those stunning parish scenes for our annual photo competition.

The criteria are the same as in the past:

landscape format, files larger than 5Mb and sent in as .jpg files to my email address below.

The deadline is 4 August but please submit your images on an ongoing basis throughout the summer.

 

Thank you.

Lego club is proving popular, and we now have a regular flow of families joining in. The club is held in the Library between 3.30 and 4.30 pm, the club is aimed at children 4.5 years and over and children must be accompanied by an adult. We have some upcoming events at the library, these will be shown on the Friends Facebook page, including an Easter Craft Morning and an Easter Raffle.

We will be closed on 21st April for Easter Monday.
