Fownhope looks set to have its own community library

LIBRARY - Fownhope looks set to have its own community library, an idea which had the backing of a parish referendum as far back as 1999. The parish council has helped to set up a steering group which has been to Peterchurch library and had two meetings with the county librarian who will provide a stock of books to add to the many it is hoped will be donated by the public. The plan is to open every Wednesday afternoon from early spring in Faulkner House with a range of books, talking books, magazines, DVDs and CDs for loan and coffee and tea available to make it a social occasion. Hopefully, copies of planning applications may be available to save people the journey into Hereford. If there’s sufficient demand there will be two sessions a week. A survey form has been distributed around the parish for those interested in using the library, or who might wish to help or donate books. Further information is available from Margret Rolls on 860827 or David M Clark on 860017.
