- you can access a range of services from Cambridgeshire Libraries;
- everyone of all ages from the local community is warmly welcomed, combatting social isolation;
- there are many ways to connect with others and keep busy – including Lego Club, craft activities, a jigsaw puzzle library and a warm and welcoming café.
“You always have some lovely activities…thank you!”
