The Book Café consists of over 5000 books to lend including some of the latest popular fiction, a large children's section and a local history reference section. Through the Cambridgeshire County Library we can order almost any book you may need free of charge and, as a member of the County Library, there is access to Library's online services. To find out more please call in at the Book Café and our helpful staff will aid you with your requests.
If you have particular requests - e.g. favourite authors - then let us know of your preferences and we will try to include them in our stock.
The Book Café is not only a Library Access Point but also a great meeting place: try our coffee and refreshments at inflation-beating prices. Two computers, freely available, provide Broadband access. Free Wi-Fi access too!
To cover operating costs, the Book Café receives funding from the Parish Council. However the vast majority of its running costs are covered by fundraising, the café, book and cake sales, events like beer and curry, wine tasting and quiz nights, and our "Friends".
