The Friends of St Annes Library (FOSAL) is a voluntary organisation, founded in 2008. It aims to support and promote St Annes’ library through various activities. As such, it works in close co-operation with the library staff but functions independently of the library service, with its own constitution, funds and objectives.
Our initial goal was to create a reading garden in the library’s grounds. Three years later this idea blossomed into a beautiful garden and in May 2011, the Reading With a View Garden was officially opened. Since then the Friends have maintained the garden and have organised many events over the years – garden parties, cake sales, murder mystery events, quiz nights, talks, bingo, knitting groups, gardening groups and more – which has enabled us to fund various projects in the Library, purchase important pieces of equipment and much more.
We really need more volunteers to come forward and help us out. Please do consider joining us and assisting at our events. Membership is only £5 pa. A membership form is available here.
