Noson Llyfrau - Harry Potter Night at the Library

The Lego Club at Hay Library will be Harry Potter themed on 6th February. The session is from 4.30pm to 5.30pm. It's free, but donations are welcome, and the dress code will be wizarding robes, Harry Potter themed fancy dress, or best Muggle attire! Kids under 8 must bring a parent.

Meanwhile, these stickers have been appearing all around town:

We don't know yet what cuts are planned by Powys County Council, or how they will affect Hay Library. As soon as we do know, HOWLS can make a response.
In the meantime there is the new CIC, which has been set up to protect Hay Library. Their vision is to keep the Library open by, first of all, raising enough money locally to keep the Library running for five years - and then negotiating a five year binding contract with the PCC to maintain all the existing Library services, including the Library staff.
It's not just about keeping the Library open, though - the vision is to expand the use of the Library across the whole community (including teenagers), and to innovate so that the Library becomes the primary local interface between the local community and the State, which is to say between the people of Hay (and surrounding areas) and all the services provided by the PCC.
And the long term goal is to build our own Library, which will be bigger than the present one, and which we can rent to Powys.
Public Libraries Transform Lives.
