🧥THE COAT BANK IS BACK AND THRIVING 🧥

The coat bank has been opened for just a few weeks and the response has been amazing. So far, we received 130 coats donations and 49 coats have found new homes.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated or made use of the Coat Bank. Your generosity is helping to keep our community warm this winter. ❤️

The Coat Bank will remain in place into next year, so there is still plenty of time to:
✅ Donate a clean, good-quality coat
✅ Take a coat if you need one, no questions asked
✅ You do not need to donate a coat in order to take one.

You will find adult coats in the library foyer and children's coats in the children's area.

🎃👻 Halloween Safety Advice from Avon and Somerset Police 👻🎃

They have issued guidance to help everyone enjoy a safe and fun Hallowe'en while being considerate of others in our community.

Their advice includes tips for parents and carers on talking to children about trick-or-treating, as well as ways we can all look out for our neighbours and friends during the festivities.

They have also produced a helpful poster for residents who would prefer not to receive trick-or-treaters. Simply display it in your window to let visitors know.

🖨️ Need a copy? We can print the poster for you at the library for 50p.

Let's work together to make Halloween enjoyable for everyone! 🧡🕸️🎃
