Butterflies fundraiser! We have funds from SWR to support the work of Joanna Rose Tidey Artist, but we, unfortunately, did not budget to buy ant-graffiti paint (which is sadly very expensive). So we decided to start a fundraiser and everyone can help. For £10 you can sponsor a butterfly on our white wall (with your initial or the ones of someone dear to you). All details are here http://www.cobbettroad.info/nature-all-around-us.html
If you want to sponsor a butterfly get in touch via email: [email protected] or come and talk with us this Sunday while we paint the wall ;-)

We will also publish here all information about the funding raised and expenses for transparency.

“Maybe is wrong, maybe we should not even have bins . People should be told to take their rubbish home, if they do not then this is what they will find when they want a picnic next. No expectations that anyone will clean after you.”

🐝 BEE ECO-CONSCIOUS AT EASTLEIGH LIBRARY 🌿

Another BIG thank you to our wonderful work experience students from the past few months- one of whom created this fantastic display packed with non-fiction on climate change and small actions that have real positive potential. 😊

Why not venture to the back of the library and take a look?
