It is with immense sadness that I write
to say our beautiful Sawston Library has been completely destroyed by a
fire this afternoon, Thursday 6 September. The library was closed at
the time, and I understand that all students and staff of Sawston
Village College evacuated safely. The Library Service and
Cambridgeshire County Council are working out what best to do next.
There will be more information on Cambridgeshire County Council's
website: www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk and I enclose Great Shelford library's opening hours and also the mobile library times for Sawston below.
The library is now closed until further notice, and the summer reading challenge presentation and book sale planned for Saturday cancelled.

I was so sad to read about the fire. As a local author, I'd like to donate some books as a small contribution to your replacement library. Who should I send books to? Would you like them now, or once a replacement library has been built?
