🧥 We need your help!
We're looking for good quality coats for men, women and children to help keep our community warm this winter. Donations can be dropped off at Lymington Library.

So far, we've received very few coats, and we'd love to be able to offer a warm coat to anyone who needs one. Thank you for your support! ❤️

🧥 Our Winter Coat Appeal Needs You! 🧥
Do you have a winter coat you no longer wear? We're looking for clean, good quality coats with plenty of life left in them to help keep local people warm this winter.
Please drop donations into the library during opening hours.
Thank you for helping us support our community. ❤️

Our Story of the Month for October is 'Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes' by Mem Fox and Helen Oxenbury. 👐👣

'All over the world, babies are different. Yet in some ways they are very much the same: each one has ten little fingers and ten little toes - to play with, to tickle, to wave. And each child is very, very special to its parents.'
