The library was closed for much of the year, due to COVID restrictions.
Even when the library was open, there were severe limitations
on
numbers.
Unfortunately,
we had to cancel our programme
of regular
events,
including
the Christmas
Party, the Film Club, the Textile Group,
the Lego Group, the Children's
Halloween,
and Rhyme and Story-Times
for young
children.
As a result, we decided to concentrate
on outdoor activities,
which were
permitted
under COVID regulations,
even when the library was closed.
The project to improve the library frontage
and gardens
continued
throughout
the year, with the work being done by volunteers
and using
Friends funds and donations.
The work included
lots of planting,
painting
the original
railings
(which date from 1935),oil to freshen
up the library
doors, replacement
turf, a "roof' garden
on the brick meter box and a
raised bed. As a result,
both gardens
are now more attractive
and
colourful than ever and have attracted
many compliments.
We commissioned
Rowan
—an art centre and charity for adults
with
learning
disabilities
-to produce a new notice board, which was installed
in April 2022.
To brighten
winter days, the residents
of Rock Road organised
a street
Advent Calendar for the month of December. We were keen to
participate.
Mary Trend created a magical window
and we enhanced
the
front garden
with three splendidly
illuminated
Christmas
trees.
In January,
during
an hour of chilly, out-of-doors,
socially distanced
bird-
watching
in the library garden,
very few feather friends were observed.
In May, we organised
our fifth Plant Sale, which was well-attended
and
raised f369.
One sunny
afternoon
in June, a Friendly Cafe for a small number
of
invited
local residents
took place in the garden
and was enjoyed
by all.
Our members
pay a F10annual
subscription,
although
many more make
an additional
donation. We waived
membership
subscriptions
for 2020-
2021, but a number
of members
generously
continued
to make voluntary
donations
totalling 8812.
