We are inviting local people to attend a ‘Morning of memories’ on Friday 29 February 2008 at the new Langley Library in partnership with Cartwheel Arts. The library, now part of the Langley Children’s Centre on Windemere Road is hosting the event to capture memories from those who have lived or worked in Langley over the years.
Maria Payne, one of our librarians working in Middleton Library, and Kim Haygarth from Cartwheel Arts will be happy to note your memories whilst you enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a chat. Don't worry if your memory is less than perfect, we will have photographs to spark your recollections! Kim will also help put your memories into poetry or prose.
We are also asking for you to bring your photographs of life on the estate. Cartwheel Arts are producing a book around ‘Life on Langley’, so if you are a budding writer this is an opportunity to get your words in print, although everyone is welcome even to just listen and see the new library for yourself.
The ‘Morning of Memories’ is between 10am and 12noon on Friday 29 February 2008. Anyone not able to attend can write their memories and send to Langley Library, Windermere Road, Middleton, M24 3PY or to Kim by email.
More events planned!
The event is the first of many at the new Langley Library. On 3 March 2008 the monthly Reading Group will meet between 2pm and 3pm to discuss ‘Lancashire Legacy’ by local author Anna Jacobs. Complimentary copies of the book are available from the library, so collect yours from Langley library now!
