Gruffalo Granny is coming to Sawbridgeworth Community Library! 🌲

We're celebrating the publication of Gruffalo Granny with a Gruffalo Storytelling Trail for little ones!

📅 Monday 26th October to Monday 30th November

Five Gruffalo characters are hiding around the library, and your child can hunt for them!

• Find each picture and collect a letter from it
• The letters spell out the missing character
• Scan the QR code on our posters to enter the prize draw

Win a book!
Over 300 books are up for grabs. Choose to enter for a board book (Have you seen the Gruffalo?) or a picture book (The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo's Child or Gruffalo Granny).

Good to know
• Children need their own library card to enter. Not a member yet? Joining is quick and easy, just ask us!
• Open to children of any age with a children's library card
• No smartphone? No problem, ask a member of staff for a paper entry form or help to enter online
• Prizes are drawn across the whole county

You can also enter online at www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/gruffalo

Come and join the adventure at Sawbridgeworth Community Library! 🌲

📚 Important update – Sawbridgeworth Library

Good news! 🎉 The project to refurbish the windows and replace the sills at Sawbridgeworth Library has been approved and contractors have been appointed.

The library will be closed to the public and volunteers from Monday 28 September until Friday 9 October, reopening on Monday 12 October. This will allow the noisier works to take place safely.

The refurbishment will then continue for around three weeks while the library is open as normal. Activities including Baby Rhyme Time, Storytime, Digital Skills, Book Club and Needles & Pins will be cancelled during this period.

The work is expected to be completed by Friday 30 October, although we’re hoping it may be finished sooner! 🤞

We appreciate your patience and understanding while this important work takes place.

❤️ Thank you for your continued support of Sawbridgeworth Library!

Storytime is cancelled on Monday 14th & Monday 17th September as our volunteers are away. Storytime on Saturdays will take place as normal. Thank you 🙏
