LONG BUCKBY LIBRARY & HUB

2026 is the National Year of Reading

• Short story competition! We are running a short story competition for all ages until April 23rd. The theme is ‘The day everything changed’ and the competition is open to all. The terms and conditions are on our website.
• If you enjoy a good read, why not join a book club? We have an afternoon and an evening one, both monthly. Contact janebailey60@gmail.com or just go along. Contribution to library costs: £2/session.
• We are also a ‘Read Easy’ venue and proudly support the scheme. If you know an adult who struggles with reading, there is help available. There are also rewarding volunteer opportunities as Reading Coaches. See https://readeasy.org.uk/groups/northampton, phone Julia Vernon on 07942 093454 or ask at reception in the library.

It’s free to join the library. Do you know we also have an amazing collection of jigsaws? You can join the jigsaw swap scheme or simply buy one for £2.

Check our website for events in April and May: Spring Fayre, Film Nights, and even a music Gig!
