THE COMMUNITY of Wool will celebrate 100 days of running its own library with a World Book Night event on Tuesday, April 23.
Lord Lieutenant for Dorset Valerie Pitt-Rivers and award-winning crime writer Minette Walters are due to attend the event at the library, which starts at 3pm.
There will be 40 copies of The Reader by Bernhard Schlink given away to new library users and anyone who signs up as a member before 5.30pm will also have the chance to win an e-reader.
Wool is one of seven libraries that have been transferred to community ownership following the withdrawal of core funding from Dorset County Council.
Chairman of the Friends of Wool Library David Smith said: “We will be showing that the library is of intrinsic value to the community and can be a focal hub with much more going on than before.”
