Book Group<br />
Friends of <strong>Rhiwbina</strong> Library has its<br />
own book group. We meet in the<br />
library on the third Monday of each<br />
month (7.30pm-8.30pm) to discuss<br />
a nominated book and share bookish<br />
recommendations. Pop along<br />
and give it a go.<br />
Board Games<br />
Our Board Games sessions (for<br />
young and old) are held on the<br />
second Saturday of the month<br />
(1.30pm-3.30pm). Abandon your<br />
screens and gadgets and enjoy<br />
an afternoon of good company,<br />
competitive fun and delicious<br />
snacks.<br />
Jigsaw Library<br />
Helpers are needed! Every<br />
Saturday morning (10am-12.30pm),<br />
our jigsaw library offers a vast<br />
choice of jigsaws for all ages.<br />
Thanks to our great volunteers<br />
for making this happen. If you can<br />
spare a few hours once in a while<br />
please contact<br />

Dementia Café<br />
Dementia Café meets at the<br />
library on the first Saturday of<br />
every month (11am–noon). This is<br />
a wonderful opportunity for those<br />
living with dementia, and their<br />
carers, to socialise and make new<br />
friends.<br />
Read Aloud<br />
On the third Monday of each<br />
month (3pm-4pm), the library<br />
hosts a ‘Read Aloud’ session for<br />
grown-ups, where we listen to and<br />
discuss a short story. The perfect<br />
opportunity to escape the real<br />
world for an hour or so and let the<br />
mind's eye wander.<br />
Chair Yoga<br />
Chair Yoga can help you feel<br />
less stressed, gain flexibility<br />
and stamina. Using a chair as a<br />
balancing aid, this NEW class<br />
is designed to suit all ages and<br />
abilities. Mondays (10.30am-<br />
11.30am).<br />
Good Yarn Club<br />
A huge thank you to Sandra<br />
and The Good Yarn knitting/<br />
crochet group for their donation<br />
of £100, raised through sales of<br />
their hand-made items. They<br />
meet in the library on Thursdays<br />
from 2pm until 4pm. Contact<br />
rhiwbinagoodyarnknittingclub@<br />
gmail.com for more details.<br />
New Planters<br />
Thanks to Mike Wright and his<br />
colleagues from Men’s Sheds<br />
Cymru and a grant from Cardiff<br />
Council, we now have four<br />
handsome planters stationed<br />
outside our library. We’re sure you’ll<br />
agree they add colour and interest<br />
to that area. We look forward to<br />
future cooperation with Mike and<br />
the team.<br />
