It's our 10th Anniversary this year as a community library! A series of celebratory events have been hosted by the library throughout the year incl. our annual scarecrow trail, a special 10th birthday raffle which has raised £1,200 ( a list of prizes and raffle winners is available to view at the library) and a fabulous tea party for volunteers, past and present. Please see our gallery for pictures of these events.
**Great News** We are thrilled to annouce that the 2025 Rothley village scarecrow trail raised £2,000! Leicester Round Table has also very generously donated a further £500 from proceeds raised from a bbq they ran during the weekend! Many thanks to all of our volunteers and to those villagers that made scarecrows, without you we wouldn't have had an event! The winner was the flamboyant display of 'Mr Men' on Hallfields Lane, and the close runner up was the 'Three Pigs and the Wolf' on Badgers Bank which was executed in beautiful detail. Photos of all scarecrows will be uploaded to our photo gallery shortly.

Back by popular demand, Rob Gee is returning with his new production, Kevin, King of Egypt. This is another critically acclaimed show by Rob Gee, it was the winnder of best comedy at Swindon Fringe and has won further similar accolades from other venues across the UK and in Canada and America. Kevin, King of Egypt is a high octane, mile-a-minute, dazzlingly wordy gallop which follows Kevin as he makes his escape from the psychiatric hopsital as he's got to catch a fight to Egypt on Saturday to lay claim to the crown that is rightfully his as the reincarnation of Pharaoh Rameses II. This is an adult only fundraising event.
