No Service point in Wells today (March 3rd) - volunteers are willing but library is closed.

If you're planning to visit Glastonbury or Frome service points, phone the library first to check it's open. If it is, our volunteers will be there!

1st loan we granted was for kitchen lino so he could crawl safely. He was our first junior member & here he is en route to his school prom!

Thank you to all our 40 volunteers who make it happen for people in Mendip! We don't say it often enough, but we must during #volunteerweek!

May's been our busiest month EVER for loans - only 1 for a holiday so that rush is yet to come! Note that we lend for nice things too...

Great to see that the youngsters at Christchurch School #Frome have got the saving habit - it's currently our busiest collection point!

It's a nightmare for our members as they are transferred onto #UniversalCredit. 6 weeks wait, living on thin air! https://t.co/hSkgT7GCDp
