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.

 Easyfundraising! it's easy to sign up, you just have to nominate us as your chosen charity, the online retailer then pays a small % of items purchased to us. Most major retailers take part. For more information you can use this link    How it Works | Easyfundraising

Rothley Community Library is hosting a Scarecrow Trail in celebration of its 7th Birthday (Covid prevented us from celebrating our 5th!)  -  it promises to be a fantastic community event, with lots of local businesses, groups and organisations getting involved. 
 

If you would like to make a Scarecrow to feature in the Scarecrow Trail (Prizes to be won!), the theme is favourite books/book characters. Paper copy application forms are available from the Library, or you can complete the following online form  https://forms.office.com/r/D1atWf2eH7  All scarecrow entries to be submitted by 6pm on Weds 21st September.  Your approximate location will be pinned onto a digital map along with the locations of other scarecrows across the village -  the map will then be available for a small donation from the Library, it will also be able to be viewed on our website and facebook page. 

If you would like more information on how to make a scarecrow please see the below link!
