Official Twitter account of the FLA. Preserving folklore materials for future open-access research. Patron: Michael Rosen. Registered Charity Number 1203418folklorelibrary.com Crediton, DevonJoined April 2021
Our thanks to Crediton Town Council who have awarded us a grant in this year's funding. This will allow us to extend our Mid Devon heritage photo collection project to include audio and video materials, which we will digitise and make available for the community
@CredTownClerk
For #StGeorgesDay here's a photo of a couple of giants which we took in the Devon village of Lapford a few years ago.
Whilst the giant in the background is Thomas Becket (who the church is dedicated to) there was also a George to go with the dragon in the foreground.
GREAT NEWS!
We have managed to secure a second space just 5 minutes from our current base so we can move our document archives and expand our reference library.
We are only £100 short of paying the first 6 months rent on this new room. Can you help?

We were delighted with this surprise donation of the Story of Cockney in 50 objects cards
Massive thanks to Jodie from @KingRiverPress1 for sending these. We love you Jodie!
Artist Bryony Diamond visited us this morning to donate copies of her new zine Lost Soul Stories, browse our collections, and chat about future collaboration
Visit her website at bryonydiamond.com to follow the progress of this zine and find out more
We have been asked to take on two very signficant special collections of materials into the Library and Archive, one of which is especially sizeable.
This has really increased the urgency of our fundraiser to increase our capacity. Please help if you can

Do please consider donating to @LibraryFolklore's fundraiser: they've achieved much in a short time and need some support to keep up with demands on their resources gofundme.com/f/keep-the-fol…
We’re running a major fundraiser to expand our physical space at the moment. Our archives are growing exponentially and our library is not far behind. Can you help us to ensure that we can give more free access to our collections to everyone?

I know these are hard times for all, but this is such an important and altruistic endeavour, I'm sure any support would be welcomed, from widow's mite to billionaire's bounty.

Happy Easter
Thanks to those who have sent in photos of Easter themed postbox toppers for our folk art archives, such as this one created by Nicola Gerrish.
If you spot any Easter wool in the landscape (that isn’t still attached to a sheep) please send it in
We launched a major fundraiser yesterday to help us to expand into new premises, as our collections are growing so quickly. It’s off to a great start but please share and put a little in if you can to help us protect folklore materials for the future

We aren’t ones to let a bank holiday stop us!
It’s our final Warm Winter free event, and we are learning all about our local museum and its collections.
Massive thanks to @gridcustomersuk@Localgiving#GridCommunityFund for funding this programme which has been so popular
We have outgrown our home and need your help!
To secure the future of our archives and stop other important folklore collections from being lost, please help us by supporting and sharing our GoFundMe for much needed relocation. Please see
