Christmas Celebration held at Caldicot Hub

Monmouthshire County Council held a festive event in Caldicot to highlight all the good work in the region’s libraries.

Caldicot Community Hub was the setting for the Christmas Celebration this year.

On Thursday, 12 December, the council hosted an event for the community and library members, supported by the Friends of the Library.

The annual festive fun showcased the county’s library service – and reinforced the fact that there is so much more than simply books at your local library. Monmouthshire’s Hubs are a community focussed service.

The Singing Clubs of Chepstow and Usk provided musical accompaniment to the day’s proceedings, with a selection of Christmas songs – both modern and traditional.

Staff members also gave festive readings.

Cllr Angela Sandles, Cabinet Member for Equalities and Engagement, said: “Our libraries are the cornerstone of our communities in Monmouthshire, they provide us with so much more than books, this includes laptops to borrow, a place to meet, a place to study and learn, a place to get advice and also of course to hold great social events such as this one.

It is important that we continue to value and utilise everything that our Hubs and libraries and the staff within them offer all the residents of Monmouthshire.”
