Long Time Volunteer

I have been a volunteer in my local library for many years, running various craft activities including a very successful Knit and Natter group. I know it has been hard for our knitters not to be able to meet face to face, and we are all delighted that we have just been able to restart our meetings.

This group does so much more than just sit and knit. It provides a safe space for skill sharing and social interaction - a place for ';knowledge exchange' as one of our members put it. We have also supported many charities, both local and national, and have taken part in a couple of community arts projects. I sincerely hope that whatever the future hold for Kent Library services a way can be found for such groups to continue.

I must also add that being able to access audio books via the Libby App has been a real Godsend during the pandemic - listening to them really helped with the stress of being confined to home.
