This in from the council, in their own words. Ed
Freshwater Library celebrates its 75th birthday this year and is holding a celebratory garden party later this month.
Library staff and the Friends of Freshwater Library have organised the party for Tuesday 24 June between 2 and 4pm at the library.
Refreshments will be available, with all funds raised going towards supporting the library.
History of the library
The library first opened in November 1939, and to recognise this, 1930s and 40s music will be played. Visitors will also have the chance to write down their own memories of the library, which will then be included in an exhibition about the library’s history. This exhibition will be displayed in November.
There will also be the chance to hear about the activities and events the library and the Friends group have organised over the last year, and also take the opportunity to look through scrapbooks of press cuttings from the last few decades and also read a short account of the library’s history.
