Teahouse discussion
A favourite pastime across Asia and other parts of the world, "teahouse discussions" provide an opportunity for people to talk about relevant and contemporary issues on a theme of protest while sampling a selection of teas.
A lively group joined us this evening at the Wheatsheaf Library to discuss whether or not the media's portrayal of Rochdale: "Rochdale - Scrounge capital of the UK?" is the true picture.

Carnival caterpillar
Eric the Very Hungry Caterpillar made a welcome appearance at this year's Norden Carnival.
Eric was made by Lynn Byrne, the Branch Assistant at Norden Library and his legs were provided by children from the primary school.
A good time was had by all and even the weather behaved itself!
