Pam Ayres at the Library
Wednesday 25th June 11am!
Our favourite author is back with us on Wednesday 25th June to sign books!
Pam Ayres MBE officially re-opened our library on December 5th 2024, after the refurbishment that gave our community library the light and bright feel it has now, as well as more book capacity.
Pam declared the library open again with some personal stories, and trademark poetry. She also went on to read all of the winning entries from the poetry competition arranged in line with the re-opening.
Since then she has very kindly donated several of her books to the library and is now coming in to personally sign them for us.
Please come and meet her on Wednesday 25th June at 11am when she will spend some time speaking with us and giving autographs.
So if you would like to meet the author who has had books in the Sunday Times bestseller charts in almost every decade since the 1970s, put the date in your diary!

Turned
Writer, Emma Bloor, visited us in the library on Saturday to talk about her fantastic book ‘Turned’ and to autograph copies of the book.
The story is based in, and the characters live in, locations within Lechlade, Highworth, Swindon, Burford and Fairford!!! It is a twistingly great page turner of a book.
We have a couple of copies of ‘Turned’ in the library if you would like to borrow it to read.
