📚 Here’s what’s happening at Shadwell Library this week (week commencing 15 June).

There’s plenty going on — from borrowing books and joining Shadwell Crafters to lunch at the Hardback Café and community activities.

This week also includes the Shadwell History Society talk:
“Military rule in Yorkshire?” by Ian Sanderson (ticket required – please see our separate Facebook post for details).

Whether you’re visiting for books, coffee, lunch or company, we’d love to welcome you.

Please share with neighbours and friends who may enjoy what’s on.

Well you missed this cake table of deliciousness today … we do also do homemade savoury dishes but it doesn’t photograph quite as well as CAKE 🍰 🤭.

Also a big thank you and a ‘welcome to the team’ to William Neale for offering to work with Peter to help put the tables and chairs away on Fridays. New volunteers are always welcome…
