A spokesperson said: “Cantley Community library would like to offer a big thank you to those who took part in the library's summer community events.

“We welcomed Animal Ark Traveling Zoo, who brought in various animals, we had local author Anne M Russell reading her book Phil the Frog and finally, Smudge Adventures delivered some fun craft sessions.”

Chairman Richard Halstead said: “It was great to see members of the community coming together and enjoying some varied and different activities.

“We have recently started our Chair Yoga Sessions on Mondays at 10.30am (£3) and Quirky Makes art sessions are also on Mondays at 1.00-3.00pm.

“These art sessions are free thanks to funding from our Ward Councillors.

“If you are interested in attending either of these sessions, please contact the library directly.”

Cantley Community Library also have a chatty cafe on Wednesday mornings as well as Knit & Natter on Friday afternoons. Please keep a look out on the library Facebook page for some new activities/courses coming to Cantley Community Library soon.
