FLACKWELL HEATH COMMUNITY LIBRARY Children ’ s activities and Book Sale at the Village Picnic 16th July
We will have a gazebo at the Village Picnic , at the Straight Bit recreation ground , which will be a hive of activity for both children and adults alike . Once again we will be running our very popular book sale , where you decide the price of the book . For the children there will be a range of craft activities and a colouring competition with a prize of a family ticket to Odds Farm Park .
The colouring and crafts will take the theme of the 2017 Summer Reading Challenge , which is ‘ Animal Agents ’ - a detective agency manned by all kinds of clever animals – furry , scaly and slippery . We hope that the children will subsequently sign up for the Challenge which takes place through the school summer holiday . The children ’ s goal is to read 6 books , with a medal on completion and incentives as they progress through the challenge . Call into the library for full details and to register .
Flackwell Heath Community Library celebrates 5 years operation at AGM
At the AGM of the Friends of Flackwell Heath Library ( FFHL ) on 4th June we were pleased to celebrate 5 years of operating as a community library , during which our amazing band of volunteers have ensured that we have always remained open to provide a friendly and welcoming service to our community . The chairman , Michael Russell , stated that while library usage ( book issues ) has fallen significantly across the county in the last four years , we have only fallen by 9.8 % compared with a 26 % fall across the whole of Buckinghamshire . On top of this , we have steadily increased the availability of the library for use by both commercial hires and community groups .
Following the formal business of the AGM around 40 FFHL members and partners enjoyed a celebration BBQ , shown in the photo .
