And after a hectic week, our Big Library Bake Sale comes to an end.
Today at Alkrington Library we raised a massive £1182.91, bringing the total raised over the week to an incredible....£2347.71

Special thanks to Alliance catering supplies, Heywood, and to Craig and Claire of Mainway Cafe, Alkrington for their generosity and help.

Thank you to everyone who supported, donated and to all the libraries that hosted to raise this incredible amount for Springhill Hospice.

As promised, opening times for Easter weeks 😊😊😊

****SPOT THE FAKE £20****

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, over the past few days we have removed numerous fake £20 notes out of circulation...and they are very good fakes 😠😠😠

For us, we are glad we are spotting them and sending them to their rightful place to be dealt with, but for you, if we take these from you...it's your hard earned monies lost. (We do give you a receipt to say we have taken them from you)

Please be extra careful when accepting £20 notes

I have attached a photo from the Bank of England explaining the features to look out for on REAL notes

Please do come and speak to us if you want to ask us anything about these note...and spread the word as not everyone is on facebook

Thanks

**We need to fill out a customs declaration for each parcel we send, the staff now have to do this via their system, so if you can bring a list in with what's inside your parcel that would help a lot.

***certain couriers need mobile phone numbers and email addresses for their customs procedure

As always, we are always here to help, so just come and see us

Have a fabulous evening
