Keeping the library as a thriving centre for the whole community
Friends of Clifton Centre and Library
The Friends of Clifton Centre and Library (FoCCaL) exist to promote the library as a place where local people can come together to meet new people, and learn.
We are a voluntary group of local residents, and we welcome anyone who would like to get involved. We host a variety of events and support other groups who run not for profit events or courses for the community. If you would like to help or have any suggestions, please get in touch.
