Community Library and Cafe

We are a free Community Library and Cafe where people can come to enjoy a cuppa and slice of homemade cake and a chat (donations welcome). Our library has 2000 books for you to choose from and you can borrow up to 4 books, both adult and children's. We have jigsaws for sale and craft tables where people can come, either with their own knitting, crochet or craft, or learn a new one. We also have visits from Colchester City Council, Anglian Water, EFR service and Police to answer questions.
