A woman's work...?

Do you remember the times when washday was always on a Monday, or when a proud housewife never failed to donkey stone her front step?

If the answer is "yes" - then you are welcome to join us for a morning of reminiscence at Alkrington Library.

(And if the answer is "no" you're still welcome!)

Middleton Junction Reading Group

The Junction Reading Group are a group of book enthusiasts who meet once a month in the snug at The Radclyffe Arms, Grimshaw Lane on the first Wednesday of the month at seven o’clock.

The group decides on book themes that interest them and we usually have fiction one month and non-fiction the next. The list is then passed to the assistant at the Junction Library who sources the books for us. At our meetings we discuss the books that we have read and then a lively discussion is had by one and all! All opinions are respected.

We are a friendly group and would welcome new members.

For any more details please ring Middleton Junction Library: 0161 654 8910
