Summer Reading Challenge (Wild World Heroes)
The Summer Reading Challenge is back in 2021! More important than ever, it gets children reading over the long summer, while having fun.
The challenge is open to all children – just visit your local library to sign up. Your challenge will be to read six books over the summer holidays, and you’ll collect a prize for each one from the library. If you complete the challenge, you’ll collect a certificate.
Realise Futures (Peer support, Walk-in Advice and Guidance Service)
This will be taking place on the first Tuesday of every month (3rd August), 10am – 12pm, at the library. Book a slot via 07753 447607.
Open Space – Every Wednesday 1:30pm – 3:30pm
The aim of Open Space is to improve the wellbeing of those attending. It consists of two-hour weekly sessions within a library setting and is open to all members of the public. It is run in partnership between Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT), Julian Support (which offers housing support for individuals with mental health difficulties), Suffolk Mind and Suffolk Libraries.
To guarantee a space you can sign-up in person or on the phone. You can attend as often or as little as you like and feel free to come and go during sessions. Our timetables of discussions and activities are built from suggestions from the group and there is always colouring, word searches and games available, along with a hot drink and a biscuit.
If you’re looking to meet new people and find out about local events and resources to support your wellbeing, then please drop in and see us!
