Become a supporter!

We need your support

The library is a developing resource and we need funding to allow it to grow – maintaining a website, heating, lighting etc. has costs and getting the collection catalogued will be expensive. We would like to have a purchasing budget for specialist books which enhance the collection.

We have a special category of ‘supporter’ which will bring us valuable income – we’re suggesting a contribution of around £25 and for this you will get a  newsletter, access to special events including monthly talks, and the knowledge that you are helping a unique resource.

The library will always be free to use, open to everyone. If you want to become a supporter please email us at info@stationlibrary.org.uk or use the form here: KB Station Library Supporter

Please download the form and either post it to us with your donation or scan it and email to info@stationlibrary.org.uk and send a contribution by BACS. The account (business) is Kents Bank Station Library  Account no. 10956220 Sort code: 54-10-17

We are also keen to explore corporate sponsorship, which can be in cash or in kind – e.g. providing specialist expertise in various fields. Please contact us for details.

commitment – as little as a day a month. And all we ask of people is to be a friendly welcoming face for visitors. There might be a few book sales to handle, making cups of tea and coffee and chatting.

We’re also trying to get the collection catalogued and we need help with that, but we know it’s not everyone’s idea of fun! Want to know more? Give Paul a ring on 07795 008691 or email us.
