Just a reminder that the Little Tiny Library will be open today from 1500-1800! You can also visit us on Thursday and Saturday between the same times. Just pop in for a nose around, if nothing else. 😄
If you would like to visit us outside of those times. then please drop us an email. We’re a safe space for out, curious and questioning folk, and will happily make time for anyone who wishes to visit us discretely.
Unfortunately, all our lovely librarians are unable to open the doors this evening, so we will be closed. However, we’ll be welcoming visitors and donations again at 3pm Saturday!
After the success of our opening night, we had a look at a few things and decided that we needed to look at some safeguarding for our amazing volunteer librarians, and our patrons. So, we took a couple of weeks to ensure that all our ducks were perfectly aligned, our eggs were not all in one basket and that we had everything up together. We are confident that we have achieved that and we can happily announce that our doors are open!
Ash and I will be on site until 1800 today, and we’ll be back again at 1500 on Thursday to, once again, throw the doors open wide (but not too wide, as it’s still a bit chilly). Please come down and see us, even if it’s just out of curiosity. Our little collection is growing, and it’s such a shame seeing it all unread.
Hot and cold drinks, free wifi and a good book, hidden away from the rest of Portland. What’s not to love?
We are finally open! Last night, Weds 26th, we opened the door to our Little Tiny Library with some very moving poetry, mural painting, chilli and chat. We’re grateful to everyone who attended, and so uplifted by the feedback.
With just a few short hours to go before we open our doors, we’re all here taking care of the last few bits and pieces.
Come and join us tonight, at 18:00, for our grand opening!

Just 2 sleeps until the grand opening! Ash has a chair to sit on, while they check your books in an out, the leaflets are in the leaflet stand, the charity adds are up, the wall is mural ready and, most importantly, the sofa is installed.
We’re really proud of how much we have achieved over the last week. All it needs is a few tweaks, and we’ll be ready to invite you all in.
“Every painting is a voyage into a sacred harbour.” – Giotto di Bondone
Cat’s beautiful blue is just the start. It’s the foundation for the mural that our guest artist, and all round awesome person, Maddy will be creating on our opening night. Maddy will not be alone in this endeavour. All our guests will be invited to submit drawing and they will upscale it and incorporate it into the final design!
If you want to be involved in the creation of our “Sacred Harbour”, then come and join us on Wednesday at 1800!

Our little library is coming together. Ash has been moving furniture and cataloguing books. We’ve been planning paint jobs and securing seating. Everything is on track for Feb 26th.
We have 60 titles available at the moment. It’s a wee collection, but every journey starts with small steps. We are open to donations! Let us know if you’re having a clear out.
Our library office, situated behind the reading area. Some tidying still needed 😄
Don’t forget, our big launch is coming on the 26th Feb! Details are here
