Libraries do all manner of brilliant things to help their communities; but for the Great Get Together 2019, North Walsham Library went one step further.

They held community jigsaws and story time, built lasting connections with existing library members, and welcomed a whole heap of new ones. What’s more, they did it all to a background of live music and delicious food.

“Drinking tea and eating homemade cakes… I’ve been singing, dancing and having a great time.”

“(A library regular) said we must have the musicians here again. They made the atmosphere very uplifted and jolly.”

“(Another regular) had been feeling very low, and she was so pleased she came today. The last couple of hours really lifted her spirits.”
