Library Update 25 March 2024

Easter closure: We’ll be closed Good Friday (29 March) and Easter Monday (1 April). Open as usual 10.00 – 12.30 on Saturday 30 March.

Booking is open at greenhill.bookwhen.com for the following

  • Evening Cinema: The Great Escaper. Friday 5 April
  • Evening Talk: “Tellin’ t’ Tale” with Rod Dimbleby (An entertainment in Yorkshire dialect)

 You can now place holds on Yellow Sticker books, either at the reception desk or by phoning 0114 2377657, and be notified when they’re available.

There are a number of ways you can support the library financially. Visit our support page for more info.

We’re interested in hearing from anyone who might like to open their garden during our Open Gardens weekend (8 and 9 June). Horticultural magnificence is not a requirement but you should ideally live within a 15 minute walk of the library. If you’re interested send an email to gardens@greenhill-library.org

Thanks to all the volunteers who turned up on 24 March to help plant our new trees and flower beds. Photo below.

The company which used to take our unwanted books is no longer providing this service, which creates a significant disposal problem for us. Consequently, we are having to be more selective in the book donations we can accept. Please do not be offended if the donations you offer are turned away.

24 March: a group of hardy volunteers turned up to help with the planting on the roundabout and the library lawn. Planting professionally designed by Fran Halsall (fourth from left, in purple top and grey skirt). Lots more photos here.
