Cllr Alan Shuttleworth, chair of trustees of the library, said, “It is really exciting for the Langney community, and we hope that lots of people will come along to support the launch. It will be a special occasion for Langney.

“We are blessed with a fantastic group of volunteers and we have plans to change the library basement area into a community hub. We would welcome ideas and more helpers, and we are accepting donations of community books.”

Olaf, the snowman character from the animated film Frozen, will be making a guest appearance at the opening event, starting from 10.30am.

Children will be able to have their photo taken with Olaf and other characters, and there will be stalls and activities, including storytelling.
