The Friends of Lakenheath Library group was formed in Spring 2011 in response to a public meeting which was held in the village to draw the community’s attention to the much-publicised threat the Suffolk Library service was under due to major budgetary pressure.

The F.O.L.K.’s main aim is to ensure the continued survival of our library and promote it as a welcoming cultural centre for our village of Lakenheath in the west of the county of Suffolk.

To achieve this, we will:

1) Increase the numbers of people using the Library
2) Hold fundraising events associated with the Library
3) Run regular events at the Library for local schoolchildren
4) Provide news about our work via F.O.L.K. blog
5) Write a monthly column in the Lakenheath Times
6) Become a registered charity to generate revenue for the Library
7) Encourage local people to join the Friends of Lakenheath Library
