London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 ·

We are a community-run library, created by local people for local people. Working in partnership with Hull City Council, we deliver a full public library service for both adults and children, supported by more than 60 Volunteer Library Assistants and many additional volunteers who help with the wide range of tasks that keep the library thriving. Beyond lending books, we provide a welcoming community space offering clubs, activities and events for all ages. From children’s craft activities to social gatherings and community celebrations, we help bring people together. Our coffee corner, serving coffee and homemade cakes, offers a warm and friendly place for conversation and connection. As an independent charity managed by a Trustee Board of local residents and volunteers, we also fundraise to sustain and grow our services. Every event, every cake baked and every hour volunteered reflects the strength and commitment of our community. We exist not just to lend books, but to nurture learning, wellbeing and belonging at the heart of our neighbourhood.

Story

On 26th April, I'll be running the London Marathon to raise money for Anlaby Park Community Library, a place run by local people, for local people.

It’s more than just books. Volunteers keep the doors open, run activities and clubs, and create a welcoming space for everyone. From children’s craft sessions to friendly coffee mornings, the library brings our community together.

We rely on fundraising to keep this vital space alive and thriving. Every donation helps support volunteers and services that make the library a place people love to visit.

Running 26.2 miles is tough, but knowing I’m helping keep our library at the heart of the community makes every step worth it.

Please sponsor me and help our library continue to thrive!
