SQUIRRELS VISIT - 25th October 2025

On Saturday 25th, the library was inundated with squirrels, beavers and maybe some cubs. There were also various birds and maybe a tree or two too who (two too who? was that an owl?) came to keep all the little mammals in order.

Of course it was our annual visit from the younger end of some of our local scouting groups who were overnighting in tents next door in the AVC . Our library volunteers became Flamingo and Emu and we had a lively few hours of helping them with their crafts and reading them some stories. The children were wonderful listeners, joined in with gusto and Flamingo was so exhausted towards the end of the afternoon that some of the children read to her instead. Every child was given a 'Library Star' sticker for being excellent visitors.

We love giving local children a chance to visit our library and always hope to see a few returning with their grown ups in tow to join the library (if they are not already Cambs Libraries members) and borrow some books (we have lots of books for grown ups too).
