Yesterday we received a wonderful donation of an original Victorian glass rolling pin. We couldn't resist the opportunity to dress up- especially as it's the final week of Bake Off! A huge thank you to Katie Potts for donating this fabulous artefact that has been in her family for 3 generations. The library service welcome donations of objects from the past - get in touch if you are having a clear out and want your family heirloom to go to a good home!
