Christmas crafts events

If you missed our Christmas crafts for children event at Widnes library on Saturday, don't worry. You can still take them to the session at Runcorn. It's on Monday 20 December and starts at 11.00am.

Our picture shows two of our library staff helping children to make gifts and decorations for the special day.

Exploring Halton’s Collections

Halton Lea Library is currently home to a display of fascinating objects from the public collections of Halton.

The current theme is ‘royal events and visits’. The theme will change to ‘war’ on 5 January and ‘work and play’ on 25 January. You can see more of the collections at Norton Priory Museum and Gardens, Catalyst Science Discovery Centre and Runcorn Town Hall.

Cataloguing of the collection has been possible with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund. There are over 2,500 objects and the catalogue will be published during Spring 2011.

Book of the year event postponed

Because of the bad weather we're having at the moment, we thought it best to postpone the 'Book of the year' event. It was due to be held at Halton Lea library tomorrow at 7.00pm. We're very sorry if this has caused any inconvenience.

Please stay posted and we'll let you know the new date as soon as we've made the arrangements.
