These have impacted all areas ofthe library operations and mean that we have a lot ofwork in trying to return to some form of normality in respect ofopening hours, running ofgroups
			and events and fundraising. The library was closed from 18March 2020
			and 20 July 2020, from 3November 2020 to 2 December 2020 and from
			22 December 2020 to 12April 2021. In the periods that we were open
			we operated reduced hours and were unable to offer public computer
			access. In addition we had to spend fairly significant sums on Perspex
			screens, signage and health and safety measures to ensure (as far as
			possible) a safe operating environment for our users and volunteers. We
			also had to cease all ofour groups and events. We are currently working
			towards getting back to pre-pandemic opening hours and groups and
			events.
			Achievements and initiatives ofthe Charity over the last yean
			~ Retention ofa knowledgeable board oftrustees
			~ Retention ofthe majority ofthe original volunteers and the
			recruitment and training of19new ones, a very significant increase	in
			our much appreciated volunteers. As most new recruits joined shortly
			before the Covid-19 lockdown we have had to undertake additional
			training for when the library re-opened.
			~ Good relationships among trustees and volunteers — very much a
			community team effort where everyone's contribution is valued and
			appreciated.
			~ As far as we were able, successful delivery of library services—
			—total books issued in year to 31 March 2021:2,347 (79%
			reduction severely impacted by the fact that we were closed for
			nearly 2/3 ofthe year)
			—total number ofnew library joiners in year: 73(-67%on 2019/20).
			~ During the closure period we weren't able to offer even "click and
			collect" services for users. As an alternative we offered the delivery	of
			donated books (that we would normally offer for re-sale) to library
			users. A total of around 2,000 books were delivered as part of this
			service and were much appreciated by the recipients.
