Wokingham

Wokingham Library users and staff alike will be celebrating this week (October 30 – November 4) as Wokingham library reaches its 10th birthday!

The current Wokingham library on Denmark Street first opened its doors to the public on October 28 1996. Ten years on, a series of special events are planned and all Wokingham district residents are invited to join the celebrations.

Wokingham District Council library staff have planned a charity birthday party to be held 10am-11:30am on November 3 at Wokingham library. The library will be serving tea, coffee and cake, kindly donated by Waitrose in Wokingham, and collecting donations in aid of Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance. Wokingham District Council Chairman Angus Ross, a key supporter of the charity, will be cutting a special 10th birthday cake.

Wokingham library will be hosting several other events as part of the celebrations:

* Under-5s birthday storytime – 2:15pm-2:45pm, October 31

* Kids Create Craft Workshops – 10:30am-12 noon, November 4

* Indian Dance Workshop – 12 noon-1pm, November 4

All events are free to attend and no booking is required.

There will also be a free children’s drawing activity, with children being asked to design a special birthday cake to help the library celebrate! Entry forms are available from Wokingham Library staff and should be returned by October 31, so that drawings can be displayed in the library.
