Llandudno Junction Library was a great community centre but has stood empty for years. Please help me to write a Chapter 2 for this building
This is a story seldom told, of a little girl and her library. Below it unfolds...
Once upon a time
A little girl, with hair so light
Spent days in her library
From morning till night
Reading book after book
In a quiet little nook
Her parents, when they lost her
Knew just where to look
But a beautiful thing is not meant to last
And soon the Library became a thing of the past
Without its purpose, it was lonely and cold
And as the years drifted, the library grew old
It isn’t the end of this little girl’s tail
She remembered the library…
And with your help its Chapter 2 can prevail
My name is Cheryl Winmill and my dream is to return Llandundo Junction Library to its former glory, to write a Chapter 2 in the history of this great community building by turning it into a beautiful coffee shop. This part of the story is about more than great coffee, fine tea, tasty cakes and a welcoming meal, it's about giving the community of Llandudno Junction an environment to enjoy the fantastic books that we'll have on our book shelves whilst they have a brew and muffin, cake or even breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.
Located right in the heart of Llandudno Junction, Chapter 2 Coffee Shop will be about a place for home workers to sample a change of scenery, have a coffee and utilise our free wifi, Mums and Dads bringing their little ones to enjoy "story time" whilst they have a natter with their friends, it's about giving a fantastic breakfast and wake me up coffee for those about to start their day and those that need a quiet place to take some time out of their busy day for lunch.
I'd also like to discuss what local residents want on the menu, to help with any diet plans and offer healthy alternatives to the gorgeous cakes that will be on offer!
Be Part of the Story
In order to restore the old library, I will need to completely transform the building from what is now an empty shell. I have worked closely with Matthew Jones Architects (matthewjonesarchitects.com) of Deganwy and Conwy Council to gain permission to create Chapter 2 Coffee Shop, but would love for local residents to be part of Chapter 2 for the library. There are substantial structural works that are required including roof repairs, a new disabled facilities toilet, beautiful outide seating area and extensive electrical works. With your help and pledges, all of this can be achieved.
When you pledge, I would dearly love to find out who you are so that you can forever be a part of writing Chapter 2. You will be included in the special Chapter 2 book (as seen in the video). As well as having your name inscribed into the book, I would like you to send your picture (if you want) so that when you pop in to see us, we will know who you are.
Thank you
