Time to dust off that bike after the winter. The Haydon Hundred is coming soon! haydonhundred.co.uk/e/the-haydon-h…

Northumberland County Council has launched a public consultation about its library service. Here’s information about it. Have your say! northumberland.gov.uk/libraries-and-…

Where they prize books and don’t take them for granted. This is the story of an underground Syrian library in time of war. Let’s value our own village library! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/wit…

Happy Christmas to you all from The Bridge!

The Bridge is open on Monday and Tuesday at the usual times. Last minute quality Christmas gifts for sale. We are open again on Friday 2 January at 3pm. HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

Discovering the library as a child was one of the greatest joys of my life and I wouldn't be where I am today without the books I read there. I would like to say thank you to librarians for everything they do, both for reading and for their communities. #SupportYourLibrary

Look what - and who - is featured in the current edition of Link, the @NclDiocese’s quarterly magazine!

Next Tuesday, 23 December, will be your LAST CHANCE to buy village calendars, cards and crafted gifts! But it makes sense not to leave things to the last minute. You know it does. The Library closes at 4pm for the Christmas holiday. We reopen at 3pm on Friday 2 January.

This Sunday (21 December): Churches Together Carol Service at St Cuthbert’s at 4pm.  Come along and join us as we celebrate the coming of Christmas! (Collection in aid of West Northumberland Food Bank.)

What are they all looking at? Cone inside The Bridge and see for yourself!

There are still some village calendars, Christmas cards and knitted goods on sale at the Bridge.  When they’re gone, they’re gone! (We shall be closed after Tuesday 23 December; we re-open on Friday 2 January.)

While stocks last! When they’re gone, they’re gone….

We've had a delivery of beautiful, fresh, local grown Mistletoe. We have 20 bunches so don't delay or you'll be disappointed. Suggested donation £2 a bunch.

Autumn at The Bridge.

From the Tuesday volunteer team at @HaydonTheBridge: “Lots of comments about how interesting the photo exhibition at St Cuthbert’s was last week; thanks to those who organised it.” We’re delighted it attracted so much interest! Best thanks to Julia, Avril and their colleagues!
