Corona Virus – Important Message to FoBL Members
In the light of the government announcements and as many of our members are near or over the age of 70 or fall within the category of those with underlying health conditions, we have taken the decision to cancel all FoBL events until further notice. This is a huge disappointment but we are not alone in making such decisions.
First Friday of the Month Coffee Morning
These have been cancelled until further notice.
Met Office Open Day – Saturday 23 May 2020.
This visit has been cancelled by the Met Office and we hope to be able to rearrange it later in the year. If you have already paid for a place to attend the open day then our Treasurer will be refunding your money as soon as she is able to and will advise you when this can be collected from the library.
Walking for Health – Monday Walk
Until further notice these are now on hold and although we would encourage all to continue to take regular exercise, we are also mindful that our Monday walks are also great social occasions. It is because of this that we felt they should be cancelled for the foreseeable future.
Finally, the latest advice from Libraries Unlimited and their commissioners Devon County Council & Torbay Council is that all libraries will be remaining open as normal. All library users are being asked to follow government guidelines relating to self-isolation. If in any doubt please contact Brixham Library 01803 853870 who will confirm which events have been cancelled etc.
In conclusion, these are challenging times and for the foreseeable future life will be very different for us all. Fortunately, we all recognise the power of reading and for once we will all have the opportunity to do just that and find time to read.
