This event postponed to a later date due to new restrictions.

Come into the Market House on Tuesdays, 10.15-11.45, and you will find an exciting collection of museum artefacts and local history books to have a look at. Most of the books can be borrowed if you are a Library Member (and if you are not it is easy and free to become one).

If you have always thought about doing some family history research but never got around to it, now is the perfect time. Ancestry.com, which has previously only been available in libraries, is now available for you to use at home.

You just have to log in to Libraries West in the normal way and then you click on to the blue words “Access to Ancestry Library Edition” to open the software.

There are hours of fun to be had here!

The Library played its part in this year’s Castle Cary and Ansford Big Christmas with a Book Sale in the Library itself – a good opportunity to attract people who might not have been in the building before.

As you can see, volunteering to support the library presents a wide range of opportunities! Well done to all those who worked hard to set up and host the event.

Best of all, we didn’t get wet – (those with long memories will recall the ingenious book shelter which provided a number of logistical challenges).

Happy Christmas to all our helpers.”

The Community Library will be taking part in the Big Christmas again this year.

A special Summer Event to enjoy at the Methodist Church in North Street, Castle Cary on Sunday 14th July from 2pm to 4pm.

A selection of your favorite passages for a relaxed summer afternoon – from novels, poems, recipes, letters, memoires – will be accompanied by music for flute and piano to complement the mood or period.

The music will be selected by and feature locally renowned musicians Adelaide Brown and Clare Sydenham.

There will, of course, be the opportunity for a luscious cream tea!
