March Library, along with Bar Hill library, is offering free coats to help out members of the community who are struggling during this winter.

Both libraries, owned by Cambridgeshire County Council, have a rail of winter coats that visitors can take without any questions being asked.

The winter coat rail was set in January, after a successful Christmas jumper rail in December.

A member of the March community donated several coats to the library, and a social media appeal soon saw many more being added to the rail.

There are children's and adult's coats on the rail, to make sure that everyone is cared for. 

March Library and Bar Hill Library are still welcoming donations, and they plan to keep the rails available until the spring.

Remaining coats will be stored away until next winter.

March library is also planning to replace the coat rail with other clothing that will soon be in high demand, including World Book Day Outfits for children. 

The library is open from Monday to Saturday. For more information, click here.
