Festive updates from Sandown Library...

 It has been a busy festive season at Sandown library, with the Christmas Story time event, a Christmas Craft Fair, and the usual events still going full swing. So it's about time for a update . . .

 
The Christmas Craft Fayre raised £115 for FOSL. We'd like to say a big thank you to all the friends who took it in turns to serve teas and coffees, and sell raffle tickets. Also to those who popped by and helped FOSL to raise funds.







 

Pictured here is the impressive Knitivity scene that was knitted by Sandown Library Knit & Natter group, for the library. Knit and Natters take place on Fridays at 1:30 pm. Come along with no experience or plenty. Free tea and coffee is provided. Just pop into Sandown library to register an interest. 

 



 
Santa's Stories, held on December 15th had a great turnout. Santa's stories were read by Rob Jones, Head of Libraries. We have recieved confirmation from some elves that all posted letters are now on the way, by reindeer express, to the North Pole.

 




In this photo to the left, some of the penpals can be seen receiving their letters from Sandown USA, which were delayed due to the hurricane.



 







Meanwhile the roof has been fixed, and the library has had a refurbishment! Pink is the theme, and were loving the new look. Pop by for a visit when you have time.

If you would like to join the friends, or if you have any books to donate for the forthcoming january book sale, get in touch at friendsofsandownlibrary@gmail.com, or pop into Sandown Library. We'd love to hear from you.
