Peter Davies, chair of Starbeck Library, with Asma Ola and Andrew Hart of Starbeck Post Office.

A post office has made a donation to Starbeck Community Library to help improve its children’s area.

Andrew Hart and Asma Ola, of Starbeck Post Office and Starbeck Community Group, presented a £500 cheque to Peter Davies, chair of Starbeck Community Library trustees.

The money is set to go towards improvements to the children’s section at the volunteer-run library, including more seating and an alcove.

Mr Davies explained that new projectors would also be bought to help advertise events and information at the library.

He said:

“This has come just in time to do the things that we really needed to do.”


The donation comes as part of ongoing support to the library from Starbeck Post Office and Starbeck Community Group.

Mr Hart said:

“Since we started Starbeck Community Group on Facebook, Starbeck Post Office have put almost £15,000 back into the community in and around Starbeck.
“We want to work with both the residents and traders in rejuvenating Starbeck and helping its many good causes.
“We have some great supporters and volunteers who are working on and planning several projects as we speak.”
