📸🏺 A Huge Thank‑You to Castleford Camera Club
Roman Day wouldn’t have been the same without the brilliant support of Castleford Camera Club. Their members generously gave up their time on Saturday to photograph families who had been dressed up in Roman outfits by our amazing staff, capturing some truly fantastic moments.

We’re so grateful for their talent, enthusiasm, and community spirit — they helped make the day feel even more special.

📚🏺 Thank You for Supporting Our Roman Day Book Sale!
Our Roman Day celebrations in Castleford on Saturday were brilliant — and the book sale was a huge success. A massive thank‑you to everyone who stopped by, browsed the tables, and picked up a new read.

Every penny raised goes directly back into the library to help us deliver even more events and activities for the community. Your support genuinely makes a difference.
