NORTH Baddesley Community Library recently had a stall and a primary school's festival. 

Friends of North Baddesley Infant School invited the library to hold a stall at the event on Saturday, July 6. 

Despite showers, the stall raised more than £77 for library funds from the sale of handmade items (bracelets and pendants made by Tim Coletta), pre-loved books and jigsaws.

The library is involved in the school’s reading challenge where children are rewarded for reading six books over the school holiday. Upcoming events include a stall at the church craft fayre on August 10 and a jigsaw stall at Romsey marked on Saturday, August 24.

Library membership is growing and future events are planned for the autumn.
