By the time you read this we will have had the official opening, when Dr Neil Cross, Chairman of the Royal Society Of Arts declared Your Library Open.
I hope you all managed to attend, but if you didn't then why not pop along next time it's open and see what we have to offer, meet our enthusiastic team of volunteers, borrow a few books and browse the Internet, all in a quiet and friendly atmosphere.

I am sure the Admin committee will all agree with me when I say it's been hard work over the past couple of months getting Your Library up and running, but we did it ! A great sense of pride and achievement after all the obstacles we had to overcome to regain this valuable asset within the village. A facility which I am sure you will all agree should never have been lost in the first place. Politics !!

Well we've done our bit getting Your Library up and running, it's now down to you to show your support by using it.

Remember Your Library offers you the chance to :-

• Join the library
• Take out books using your Cambook card
• Request / order books (remember children's requests are free!)
• Take out up to 12 books at any one time
• Keep them for up to 3 weeks
• Access the Internet
• Use a variety of CD ROMS
• Study the local information files
• Buy second hand books
• All in a friendly atmosphere

CCC have provided Your Library with a stock of new books, (a mix of Adult fiction & large print, Teenage and Children's books), I know this selection will not suit all tastes, but don't just say “there's nothing here for me”, please give our band of volunteers comments on the types of books you like best and as we add to the CCC stock with locally donated and purchased books and tapes, we will keep our eyes open for your favourite authors to give you the widest choice possible.
It is worth a reminder here to say that as a voluntary run library
We need your assistance to flourish .
Do you have a couple of hours a month to spare?
If so, then why not volunteer to assist in the running of Your Library, (a rewarding task which is not difficult, full training will be given)
The more volunteers we get the less we all need to do.

Anyone who can offer assistance would be most appreciated, please contact either Verity Ladds or Peter Looper.

We rely on your donations, income from fines, charges and book sales to cover running costs and purchase new books.

Donations of good quality Children's, Teenager's and Adult books and tapes would be most welcome for inclusion in Your Library or for sale, to generate funds to cover running costs.
(Contact Richard on 202707 or drop them into the collection box in the library)

Thanks must go to the admin committee, who have given up numerous hours of there own time over the past few months to make Your Library a reality and to all those who have volunteered to run Your Library. It's thanks to these individuals that you have the chance to continue to enjoy a library in Swavesey.

This is Your Library and to succeed it needs your support.

I love books

I was a bit sad that the old library closed because I love to read books and having the library open was really handy. But now that “Your Library” has opened I'm quite happy. I have more books!

In the library we have the internet, which is very useful for homework, which I have, quite a lot of, but it is also good fun to play on the games. Here are a few websites of which I have used quite often because of the games. I'm sure you will recognize them: www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc, www.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews and www.bubblegumclub.com

Also in the library there are lots of really interesting books and a good selection. They are new and different from the selection in the old library. Which is really good!

Have you got any children's and teenage books that you have finished with and are in good quality?

Well, if you do then bring them in and give them to a nice member of the staff and then we can all read them!
