Kesgrave Library - Nov 23

During November we will be making the following crafts:

Sunday 5^th – Pop along and create a rocket on a straw to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night.

Sunday 12^th – Today we are making poppies for Remembrance Sunday.

Sunday 19^th –We are drawing a self-portrait today.

Sunday 26^th – Create a collage of owls using cupcake cases.

Activities are free. Parents must stay with under eights.

This group’s next meeting is Thursday 2nd November at 2.45 p.m.

These sessions are on the second and fourth Thursday of the month. You don’t need to be able to knit to attend – just pop along for a natter.

Tea/coffee and biscuits are provided. Donations towards the cost would be welcomed.

10.00 – 11.00 noon on the third Monday morning each month (Monday 20^th November) in the library.

Our volunteer who helps run these sessions, is available to help on any aspect that may be worrying you, whether you are currently suffering from cancer or a carer in need of advice or just if you fancy a cup of tea/coffee and a listening ear.

During this month’s session, the group are looking at and discussing heavy bleeding and how to cope.

These sessions will offer practical advice, as well as be a chance to talk to others and get support.

Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be provided.

Bring your little ones to our Stay & Play group for a relaxed and informal opportunity to meet other parents and carers, share experiences and chat.

Our Stay & Play groups are a chance for parents to socialise and give their babies and young children a fun, interactive play session that engages their senses and helps their development. These sessions are suitable for under 5s.

This event is part of our Me Myself and Baby perinatal support service. The aim of the project is to help reduce isolation and improve emotional wellbeing for new parents.

Following on from the success of our new Stay & Play sessions, we are looking for donations of Duplo please, to enhance the sessions for those attending. If you are able to donate any Duplo, please call or pop in and speak to the staff – thank you.

Our fantastic selection has arrived and is on display within the library. We also have cards from the Somersham Ward from Ipswich Hospital available as well. Every sale helps to support your library service.

Did you know that Kesgrave Library is a drop off point for printer ink cartridges, whether used or out of date (apart from laser printer cartridges). Every donation of a used cartridge helps the library to raise funds.

If you would like to access the library but are unable to visit us, Kesgrave runs three home library routes, where volunteers come out with a selection of books to your homes. To access this service, whether you are house bound, recovering from an operation, enquiring for a relative/friend or someone you care for, please ring the library 01473 626103 or log onto the Suffolk Libraries website and complete the online form.

We are still looking for good quality book donations, mainly fiction – adult or children. Please speak to staff if you are interested in donating some items to us.
