Awards for All grant confirmation
We’ve just had confirmation of our “Awards for All” grant from the National Lottery Fund. This £8,000 grant will fund a feasibility and planning study to further develop the library building for community use. Our thanks to Margaret Davis and Ann Hindley for their work on this, and to all the National Lottery players who paid for it.
Watch our video: “The Library at Work”
Through 2016, Sheffield’s U3A Video and Documentary group spent many hours in the library recording the work that goes on here. You can see the result on our YouTube channel here.
Folk Music Evening
On Friday 16 June 2017 the library hosted a group of talented folk who presented an evening of traditional and contemporary folk music to a “capacity crowd”. We’re grateful to all those who performed, giving their time free of charge and raising £250 for the library — not to mention providing an enjoyable evening. There’s a short video of the evening here.
The quilt of the book
A group of library users, mostly first-time quilters, under the watchful eye of Lynne Brown, created a series of mini-quilts each representing a favourite book. You can see the results on our photo gallery page here, or you can come in to the library and see the originals. Lynne will be running more introductory quilting classes in the summer. If you would like to enroll, send her an email at crafts@greenhill-library.org
Local History Books now available for loan
Thanks to Lesley Fox and the Greenhill Village History Society, our new collection of local history books is now available for loan. Pictured here at their recent open meeting are Lesley, councillors Andy Nash and Richard Shaw, and other members of the society, with a few of the books, many of which have been purchased from an award from the Ward Pot.
Readathon 2017
Our Readathon event combined storytelling with craft — all themed around every child’s favourite role model: Horrid Henry. Thanks to Mike, Gill and Patrick for the stories, and Lynne + helpers for the crafts. See more here.
