Classes are held on the second Tuesday of the month from 2.30pm - 4.30pm. Topics include, card making, creative embroidery, silk paper making, felt making, soft jewellery and Christmas decorations.
There is a small charge (usually about £2) to cover materials.

The group is for anyone interested in knitting or crochet and is usually held on the third Friday of each month from 2.30pm - 4.30pm. Come along for a chat to other knitters over a cup of tea or coffee. Bring along your own project or help us make a wall hanging for the Children's Library. Beginners welcome.


MOBILE LIBRARY
Did you know that Croydon Library’s new Mobile Library stops in this area on a regular basis? If you cannot get to Shirley or any other Croydon Library then let the Library come to you by visiting the Mobile at one of the stops listed below.

The Mobile Library has a variety of stock for both adults and children. As well as fiction in ordinary print, there is large print and talking books, also videos and DVDs for all ages. Plus a range of children’s books to help with homework and study.

The new Mobile is fully accessible with a lower suspension to drop to kerb level and ramp for wheelchairs.

Any Croydon Library ticket is acceptable or to join just produce two forms of identity with your name and current address.
