Community meeting: all welcome

The library committee has been meeting every fortnight since forming in March, and plans are now moving at pace. Now we need your support!

Our draft business plan has been approved by Bucks CC, and we hope to take the library into community management before Christmas.

Please join us at a community meeting from 19.30 on 21 September in the upstairs room at Ivinghoe Town Hall to hear about the next steps and what you can do (however small!) to support our library into the future.

Topics will include volunteering opportunities, fundraising, getting local schools involved, engaging with local clubs and groups, how the service can be improved in future, and more!

Everyone is welcome  – even if you need to arrive late or leave early. The session won’t involve too much sitting and listening so there should be enough to occupy older children. We are keen to hear your thoughts. Refreshments will be provided.

In the meantime:
– The attached a poster promotes the meeting – please feel free to put it up on your nearest notice board to help spread the word
– Our Top Reads survey asks for your favourite  authors and seeks your views about the library.  Please take a few moments to answer and encourage friends and neighbours too!

We look forward to seeing you on the 21st.

About Friends of Ivinghoe Library

In late 2010, Bucks County Council announced that it was minded to transfer 14 libraries to community control - including Ivinghoe. The Friends of Ivinghoe Library was reconstituted in March 2011 to explore how the community could take a bigger role in running the library. In the coming weeks and months, the group will put together a business plan.
