• Community Explanation Document
• Design and Access Statement

• Masterplan
• Parameters Plan

• Draft Rail Report
• Illustrative Plans
• Site Location Plan.

If you are interested in responding to the consultation, call in at the Library.

Due to the resignations of two of our Trustees, we now have vacancies for two new Trustees. 

We are looking in particular for people who have experience/skills/interest in marketing, advertising and design, a wish to develop the community side of our enterprise (given that we are a community hub) and, of course, an interest in and commitment to the concept of libraries. 

Trustees meet monthly to manage the Charity’s business and to set its strategy and direction.  If you feel that you would like to join us, please email Liz Collinson at secretary@kirbymuxloelibrary.org  setting out your interests and experience.  We look forward to hearing from you.  

We are a friendly and welcoming bunch of people so please have a think about joining us and contributing to the well-being of our community.  The duties are not onerous!

Thank you to all those who took part in our Christmas Quiz. 

We received several correct answer sheets and after pulling a name out of the hat the winner is Mrs S. Koch from Coventry. The £10 book token is winging its way to her with our congratulations.

Thank you everyone once again. We hoped you enjoyed the quiz.

There will be another library (paper) quiz later in the year.

If you would like the answers…… they are below

Important update – the event will now be ONLINE ONLY between 11:00 and 12:00

While we did have some stock, this has been exhausted and we have no idea if or when we will have any more to offer.

Sorry!

“Following the announcement of the move to Plan B, libraries will now come under the group of buildings that require face masks to be worn by customers from today (Friday 10th December) except for those who are exempt.”

Did you know that your empty crisp packets can help others?

NOTE: This scheme is closing down on 1st February.

There is a charity called Adapt and their web site is at prembabies.co.uk

If you can bring ANY crisp packets to the library then Walkers Crisps will collect them, recycle them and also contribute to Adapt for every packet.

Walkers do not mind what brand of crisp packet you bring to us, they accept them all.
Adapt, like any and all charities, need every penny they can get to do their work.

You get to eat the crisps, the packet gets recycled and a family gets helped. Win-win-win.

So please do save those packets and drop them in to the Library. Thank you.

As usual, you can find the current times here: Opening Times – Kirby Muxloe Library

Apologies but we shall not have access to any counter computers on Saturday, as LCC are doing their annual system update.

Books can still be returned and taken out.

If you wish to take books out you must have your Library Card Number with you, as we shall have no access to our helpful Hub. Things should be back to normal for Monday 29th.
