Author Visit

Author Dorothy Stewart In February author Dorothy Stewart came to Southwold Library and read her book, “It’s Hard to Hurry When You’re a Snail” to children from Southwold Primary School.

Beat the Winter Blues: Volunteer


Volunteers In the first week of February we ran a volunteering week encouraging people to help others and themselves.  We ran 2 refreshment sessions a day attended by local groups that needed volunteers.  These groups included Voluntary Help Centre , Southwold Museum, Suffolk Befriending and Blyth Valley Radio.  Most of the groups attracted some willing volunteers.
