📚❤️ WOW! Just look at our little library! ❤️📚

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has kindly donated books to our mini library here at Vetro Lounge! 🥰

Our shelves are looking absolutely fantastic, and we couldn't have done it without all your lovely donations!

We love seeing our little book swap grow and knowing that these books are getting a new lease of life for someone else to enjoy! 📖✨

Remember, our library is here for everyone! Whether you fancy picking up a new read, swapping a book you've finished, or simply donating a few you no longer need, you're always welcome!

📚 Take a book, leave a book, spread the love! ❤️

Thank you again, Rotherham! You're a lovely bunch! 🫶

Today we had our monthly volunteers meet up at Frith Space on high street. Lots to discuss today, including what we need to do so we can reopen (spoilers: not much....) and, of course, how excited we are to see our customers again. We hope everyone will still support us in our new space.

Bonus, we'll all be able to visit Frith more often. We can't wait to work with them, and the other shops around us, to become a community space again.

Thank you for all the follows and likes lately (including the fantastic The Three Cranes - Rotherham). It's nice to see everyone's still supporting us ❤️

We have just been informed that- to be able to park on High Street on Sunday- we have to pay £20 for the permit, or be charged £60 every time we park.....which, with hundreds of boxes of books + furniture, will be at least 3 or 4 times 🫠 Despite us being a charity (and one who benefitted the town while we were open), this fee is apparently non negotiable.....so it's been paid, but we really should have been told when we made enquiries 🤷🏻‍♀️

We're going to need some help.....

Since we have a new shop to store our books in (in the centre of Rotherham), we are DESPERATELY in need of shelving. Bookcases (that are sturdy), shelving units from shops (these are preferable), tables- anything that a book can be stored on safely. Please keep in mind we are a charity and unfortunately do not have access to a van.

Hi all,
We come with a request today! We have to move all our books out of the bus station unit they're stored in asap, and luckily we have a new place to store them at 23 High Street! That means we need strong volunteers (believe me, the boxes are heavy!) to help us load the van at the bus station and unload at the premises on high street. It will probably take two trips for all the boxes. This will be on Sunday 13th September at 10am. If you can help, please let us know! Thanks x

RIP Dolly Parton. Not a day went by in the shop where we didn't receive a copy or 2 of her imagination library books. She changed many people's lives, not just with her music but with her philanthropy, including the hundreds of millions of books she gave to children over the years.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Hi all,

We unfortunately need to move the books to a storage area just outside town, so we're looking for anyone with a van (or any companies you can recommend) to give us a quote. We're looking for a removal type van as we have lots of boxes and furniture to move.
Please leave a comment or message us,

Thanks everyone.

Thank you for thinking of us, xylia. From your mouth to Rotherham councils ears? (From page 18, today's Rotherham Advertiser)
