About Us – a library run by volunteers
Boldon and Cleadon Library has been run by local volunteers since 2018. Since that time our volunteers have worked hard to keep the Library open and develop its services. We are hugely encouraged by the support we have received from the community.
Our library is more than just a library… it is a meeting place for community groups, a place to visit when you feel lonely or just need company, a venue for learning new skills or listening to talks about interesting topics – it is a place at the heart of our community. It is a library run by volunteers, by the community for the community.
Events
We have a vibrant events programme which we are always revisiting and adding new options to. Events usually have a small charge, which goes directly to the upkeep of the Library.
On the first Tuesday of every month we have a programme of speakers on a diverse range of subjects, including local history, politics, the natural world and art and literature.
We also host a monthly quiz, regular pre-school and children’s activities and a Memory Cafe which takes place the first Monday of every month, for people living with Dementia and their carers.
We are proud of The Library service that we have developed. Whether you are bringing your family to arts and crafts, looking to use our computers or seek advice, or fancy a go at that quiz, we look forward to welcoming you…oh and we lend books!
