Knaresborough Lions have joined the Harrogate and District Soroptimist’s Campaign to support local libraries by providing toys, dressing up clothes for story time and huge quantities of craft materials to use during children’s activity sessions. These popular activity sessions encourage young children to attend local community libraries and begin to enjoy reading books.
Knaresborough Library was delighted to receive £400 From Knaresborough Lions President, Bob Godsell. It has made a huge difference to their current resources and Jaime Berry, aged 8, could not wait to open the new toys and crafts.

Together with Knaresborough Lions President Bob Godsell and his wife Pamela and library staff member Maria Burley and volunteers Ged Williams and Keith Harmer.
