The library opened with its pre-Covid hours on Monday 5^th July and staff are so pleased to see so many of our customers returning. Please remember if you do not wish to come in and browse, we are still happy to order items on the catalogue for you or put together a Select & Collect bundle. Just give us a ring. We are now open.

Staff are still waiting to see what the relaxation of rules on the 19^th of July mean. We will communicate any changes to you when you pop along to see us or please ring and ask if you are concerned.

Kesgrave High School recently launched a project called ‘Keep in Touch’. At a time where digital devices have played an important part in keeping people connected and alleviated the feeling of isolation, the high school hopes that those who take part will appreciate this written correspondence from a Kesgrave student.

If you wish to take part, please contact the town council office and we will pass on your details. You can write as little or as often you like! All personal details will be kept confidential.

All you need is your own library card to sign up for the challenge. Then read six library books, one of which is a non-fiction and then come back and speak to our volunteers about your books.

A new campaign aimed at getting young people to talk about their mental health has been launched in Kesgrave thanks to a donation from a local district councillor. Cllr Debbie McCallum, local ward member for Kesgrave, has donated £814.20 from her Enabling Communities Budget to Kesgrave Town Council to support a new local mental health campaign for young people.

The campaign aims to encourage parents and friends to talk to their children about mental health and to highlight the services available to young people in Kesgrave who may be struggling mentally for various reasons.

Residents are being reminded to consider reporting non-emergency incidents online to help police manage the summer surge. During the summer months, the force typically receives a high volume of calls and with an increase in visitors, demand on the 101 number is likely to rise.

From Monday 5^th July, the library is returning to its ‘Pre-Covid’ opening hours.

At present, we will still be limiting numbers on site; plus, the following guidelines will be in place.
