Shelford library January update

​

We look forward to seeing you in the library during January. We welcome our new librarian Vikki Keppey in the afternoons.

​

Great Shelford Library would like to say a huge thankyou to the Shelford Wednesday Country Market and the Feast who have both made donations to the library in 2025. These funds will help us buy more adult books and update some of the rugs and furniture in the children’s library.
