With the coronavirus epidemic, Northamptonshire County Council has suspended all volunteering in NCC libraries. The library in Long Buckby is highly dependent on its volunteers and will be closed for the time being. Books will not be due during the closure period.
Sadly, we have had to postpone two forthcoming events: the Concert with Abington Wind Band and St Lawrence Singers at St Lawrence Church on April 26th, and the Flower Power, Poetry and Prose evening at the library on May 1st. We hope to hold them in the autumn and will keep you posted.
We are sorry to announce that Long Buckby Library will be closed will be closed until further notice due to staffing constraints.
The Volunteers Fair was an opportunity for the community to meet the people who run Long Buckby organisations and clubs and to find out what they might be able to do for each other.

Buckby Library & Hub is delighted that Long Buckby’s community choir, Elation Community Voices, has agreed to support the library as its charity for 2020.
ECV holds two fundraising concerts in the village each year as well as other events such as quizzes. Thank you ECV!

Long Buckby resident, Julie Ball, has successfully raised £1,000 for Buckby Library & Hub by running a half-marathon in Wolverhampton where she was born.
Thanks to all the marvellously generous donations you have given in response to our appeals, including online and in the Bugle, the Buckby Library & Hub community group now has sufficient funds in the bank – or committed – for us to take over the funding and management of Long Buckby Library in the New Year (legal agreements permitting).
A huge Thank You to Alison and Ian from the Old Kings Head, and to everyone who attended the amazing Pumpkin Festival on 6th October and helped raise £1,824 for Buckby Library and Hub.
Congratulations to Julie Ball who successfully completed the Wolverhampton half-marathon, on 1st September, in 3 hours 15mins.
