31 July 2024

Oundle Library remedial works are still ongoing after the recent fire, but staff are determined the show must go on for two of their Summer events this week.   

Initially planned to be held inside, Circuits and Crazy Colin’s Magic Workshop will now be held in the library’s garden. Both are bookable, please call 0300 126 3000 or email [email protected]

Thursday 1 August 10:30am to 11:30am sees the library garden host Circuits where youngsters can learn about series and parallel circuits before making different circuits from a challenge card. This will be delivered by our Stem Ambassador partners, supported through Leicestershire Education Business Company.

On Friday 2 August 2:30pm to 3:15pm it’s the turn of Crazy Colin’s Magic Workshop, which has been kindly funded by the Friends of Oundle Library.

Unfortunately Oundle Library still remains closed while works are carried out on the building. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank residents for their continued support and understanding.

We would like to again reassure any of the community that currently have loans from Oundle Library. These have been extended and will not incur any late return charges during the closure.
Councillor Helen Howell, Deputy Leader for North Northamptonshire Council and Executive Member for Sport, Leisure, Culture and Tourism

Library cards can be used at any North Northamptonshire Library. Young residents can also sign up to the Summer Reading Challenge at any library in North Northants, collecting sticker, certificates and medals once they have completed the challenge and the library has re-opened.

I know staff would like to thank those who came along to the Family Hubs Fun Day last Thursday which proved that events can successfully and safely be run outdoors in the garden space.

I am delighted the events will go on and know that the local community will be as supportive as they have been so far.
Jason Smithers, Leader of North Northamptonshire Council
