  • Mobile library takes up residence at the Infant School

    Mobile library takes up residence at the Infant School

    The library is now welcoming browsers aboard the bus in its new home at the recently vacated New School Road Infant School site in New School Road.

    On Monday 17th May, Histon’s Mobile Library van moved to the now unoccupied Infant School site on New School Road.

    This new location will see longer opening hours, with the van now being open Mondays and Thursdays from 10am until 6pm. At last it will also be possible to get on board and browse the shelves.

    Friends of Histon Library are planning to run occasional book sales there, which may become a regular fixture, though this is not yet confirmed.

    The first of these will be on the afternoon of Thursday 20th May, with a sale of children’s books for pocket money prices. “Do take some loose change”, say the Friends.

    For information on all Friends of the Library plans and events, keep an eye on the HILF Facebook page here.

  • Mobile Library

    Unfortunately they can’t allow access into the vehicle at this time, so they are asking us to use the online Select & Collect facility to reserve books for collection.

  • Histon and Impington Library Friends: On-line book sales

    Bored of your books and wondering what you’re going to do with the library closed? Histon Library Friends (HILF) have got the answer! Over the next few weeks we will be running a “bookcycling” service. Our monthly book sales will be held online in our Facebook group (HILF) from our stockpile of books, puzzles and DVDs.

    Simply browse the pictures of books, decide which ones you fancy and email hisimplibraryfriends@gmail.com by midnight on the Sunday. It’s first come, first served.

    Your order will be picked and parcelled up on the Monday, and delivered to your doorstep (by bike or foot) on Friday after spending the week in quarantine. We want to spread the joy of reading, so there’s no charge. But if you feel able to make a donation that would be great. At our normal book sales it’s 40p per book, 3 for £1.

    And if you’re worried about the library, watch this space! There are plans afoot to keep the village connected to the library services while the library is closed.
