What's On
After the fire at Oundle Library on 12 July 2024 the library building reopened on 30 September and now offers a restricted service (book borrowing only). North Northamptonshire Council issued a press release on 26 Septemer here and it is hoped that full service will be resumed in a matter of weeks. For up-to-date news keep an eye on Oundle Library’s Facebook page here.
With the library closed, there’s no timetable to download at the moment.
Forthcoming events
Deception and D-Day
A talk by Oundle’s Military History Boys planned for 9 October 2024
Because of uncertainty about when Oundle Library will reopen, we have to postpone the military history talk (Deception and D-Day) that we were planning for 9 October. Remedial works are still in hand at the library and – at the moment – it’s not certain when these will be completed. As soon as the library does reopen, we’ll arrange another date with Oundle’s Military History Boys and let you know. In the meantime, our apologies.
