Amanda Williams recently delivered a fabulous talk on The Oxford Brain Story. It was a fascinating insight into how early experiences shape us. These First Friday sessions are so valuable for our local community: they spark conversations, curiosity, and connection. We received some fantastic remarks about this talk, so thank you, Amanda, for sharing your expertise! 🧠

We're looking forward to welcoming Miranda Kaufmann on 2nd October at 7pm as part of her book tour. This looks like a hugely popular event, so please arrive promptly to secure a seat!

📚✨ Library Volunteers Wanted! ✨📚

Hope Community Library is calling for volunteers to help out between 10am and 3pm on Saturdays. It's a flexible role, and we work on a rota, so you won't be needed every Saturday! The shifts run from 10:00am to 12:30 and 12:30 to 15:00, and you'll always work alongside another volunteer.

Join a friendly team, sorting books and helping visitors. You can also get involved in planning events and supporting community groups, if you wish. 📖

If you’re enthusiastic about helping your local area, this is your chance! DM us to express your interest. Please provide your telephone number, and a committee member will be in touch! 💌

🐾 Oh me, oh my… it’s Gruffalo Granny! 🐾

Fans of Julia Donaldson will be thrilled to know that we’ve got our hands on two copies of the brand-new Gruffalo Granny! 📚

This is no ordinary new release. Gruffalo Granny is the first new Gruffalo story in more than 20 years, bringing us a brand-new adventure from the much-loved dream team of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. 💚

Our copies will be available to borrow from the library this Saturday, and we’ll soon be announcing the dates for a very special Gruffalo-themed storytime and crafts session here at Hope Community Library! 📖🎨🐭

Keep following us for details and get ready to take a stroll into the deep dark wood! 🌲🐾
