Barbara Barnes

Barbara plays a key role in delivering a welcoming and responsive service to the people of Redruth and the surrounding area. Redruth Library is run by Redruth Town Council on behalf of Cornwall Libraries, and the service goes beyond book lending. The team helps people access information and digital resources, supports users with public computers and digital skills, runs the home library service, and delivers a varied programme of activities, including craft and social groups, family sessions and Rhymetime for children under four. Barbara helps deliver the fortnightly Get Crafty sessions. She also uses her creative skills to dress Tolgus, the large woolly sheep who welcomes visitors at the Library entrance and has his own wardrobe of outfits.
