Volunteers at Little Common Library, Bexhill come together for annual gathering
Volunteers and supporters came together for a library’s annual Fish & Chip Lunch in Bexhill.
The annual gathering, held at Little Common Community Centre, was an opportunity to celebrate the hard work and dedication of the volunteers who give their time to keep Little Common Library running, its chairman Connor Winter said.
Steve Johnson, from Bexhill Heritage, delivered a presentation about the Brassey family and their historical connections to Bexhill, sharing stories and insights into the town’s heritage.
The library also welcomed Karen Haskell, customer relations manager at Collington Park Lodge.
Karen met with volunteers, toured the library and discussed potential future partnership working with committee members.
Cllr Winter, who is also a Bexhill town councillor, said: “It was a fantastic afternoon and a lovely opportunity to bring our volunteers together and thank them for everything they do throughout the year.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated group of people who give their time to support our library and the wider community.
“A huge thank you to Steve Johnson for his fascinating talk and to Karen Haskell and Collington Park Lodge for their kindness and generosity. It was particularly encouraging to discuss opportunities to work more closely together in the future.
“Our library continues to go from strength to strength, and that is entirely down to the wonderful people who support it.”
Based at Little Common Community Centre, the library is open on Tuesdays from 9.30am to 3.30pm and Fridays from 9.30am to 12.30pm.
