Happy Birthday Woolston Library
Woolston Library held a series of events to celebrate its 40th birthday in September that provided something for everybody!
During the week there was a storytime for under 5s and one for children with special needs, a birthday party, and a Family History Helpdesk run by a local group. Colleagues from Warrington Museum ran a mini Antiques Roadshow event, where people could bring in objects to find out more about them (though not a valuation!). Leisure Centre staff and the PCT ran a health session where people could have checks on their weight, blood pressure and lung capacity, as well as try out Tai Chi and take a health questionnaire.
There was a session on tracing your family tree on the internet and a Dr Who activity session, where children made moving Daleks, Tardis pencil cases and alien masks and followed a treasure hunt.
Around 150 people took part over the week.
