Crafting Library
We have a little library!
Lots of arts & crafts books have been lying on the shelves here for years and so we thought it would be a nice idea to share them. It's a pretty lo-fi system: if you fancy any of the titles listed here or would like to swing by to have a browse, drop us a line and we will organise a time.
Any of the books you take out can be kept for up to three months. All we ask is that you leave your name and a contact number so that we can text you a reminder to return the book.
We also have a whole bunch of fibre-based magazines: Spin-Off, The Knitter and back issues of the Journal for Spinners, Weavers & Dyers. We haven't catalogued them in detail - that might be a job for a willing volunteer (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) - but, again, you are very welcome to schedule a visit to have a nosey through them to see if there are any articles that interest you or patterns that take your fancy.
If you have any crafty magazines or books you are looking to rehome, we would be glad to add them to our little library.
Happy reading!
