This includes arts and crafts groups being involved in nurseries, 'rhymetime' with grandparents, and computer coding lessons being put on for adults.

Woolston Neighbourhood Hub will be hosting 'Life Matters', which is a session teaching people about long Covid on October 3.

Padgate Library will be hosting a murder mystery event on October 4, and Westbrook Library will be welcoming Manc-noir author David Nolan on October 6.

Libraries week is all about celebrating the nation’s libraries and showcasing how libraries across all sectors are inspiring learning for all and helping individuals to unlock and fulfil their potential at every stage of life.

Want to show your local politicians how your library is supporting life-long learning, but not sure how to get them in the (virtual or library) door? We can help with tips and a template invitation for your event this #LibrariesWeek!
