Friends of Grappenhall Library was formed after closure of our local library in April 2011. The building has now been re-opened, restocked with over 6,000 donated books and we have over 600 friends and members, borrowing and supporting us. We currently have core opening times of Mon/Tues 2pm-6pm, Thu/Sat 10am-1pm. Other activities and events, such as reading groups, kids craft workshops etc also take place at other times.
Our volunteers donate their time for free and we would welcome new people to join us in order to keep this a living project for the community. For example, if you could help for a few hours during opening times, maybe with our building, occasional bits of maintenance etc, that makes a big difference to what we can do.
Our facilities can also be hired by contacting us.
