Bottisham Community Library Association
Bottisham Community Library Association is delighted to announce the reopening of Bottisham Library to the public on Tuesday 15th July 2003 at 3pm, with storytelling at 4pm.
After a long and sadly unsuccessful fight earlier this year to prevent the Bottisham library from closing, along with 9 other village libraries, the villagers of Bottisham and the surrounding area have rallied around and formed the Bottisham Community Library Association to run the public access side of the library, which is situated in Bottisham Village College.
We are the first of the recently closed libraries to re-open, and are proud of our team who have been working tirelessly behind the scenes collecting and cataloguing on 15th July is a wonderful achievement and we would like to thank everyone who has made this possible by donating books, money or time.
We will be keeping to the normal library opening hours, (given below) staffed entirely by volunteers who are giving their time out of a sense of loyalty to the community and a desire to retain a library service that is accessible to as many as possible. Bottisham also now has a mobile library service on alternate Friday evenings and Saturday mornings.
You do not need to be a member of the BCLA to borrow books from the library Đall you need is the CAMBOOK library card that you used to borrow books from the library before it closed. However, if you would like to join us we would be very pleased to welcome you. Membership of the BCLA, which costs £1 a year, and lets you have a say in the running of the association, is open to all. Application forms are available from the library.
