Lucy Lewis was the first woman to operate as a Bomb Disposal Officer with the Royal Engineers.
In 2018, Lucy made history for a second time by becoming the first woman to be appointed University Marshal at the University of Cambridge.
Author Talk On 1 December 2021 Lucy Lewis came to the Library and gave an excellent talk to a very appreciative audience. Lucy joined the Army on the spur of the moment and after training at Sandhurst, was chosen in 1989 to become the first woman to operate as a Bomb Disposal Officer with the Royal Engineers. She subsequently served with the Royal Military Police in Germany and Northern Ireland, retiring in the rank of Major to start a family. Lucy's amusing anecdotes kept the audience's attention throughout and gave us an insight into the less serious moments in military life. After questions Lucy sold signed copies of her book ‘Lighting The Fuse’, published in July 2021.

What our customers have said about us
Fantastic free resource! My husband and I read a lot so having access to not just the books in Fulbourn Library but the entire county catalogue is an absolute godsend. It means that we can read any newly published titles in hardback,as soon as they appear, without paying huge sums of money. It is a superb resource. The staff in our village library are also extremely friendly and helpful.
Thank you very much to all the volunteers. We love our village library and appreciate all you do.
Love the library - very much.
Thanks for all your hard work in creating such a wonderful space! My daughter loves the library so much.
This is the nicest place in the village!
