Supporting Library Activities for Adults at Longridge Library (Creative Writing)

Longridge Library would like support with their Creative Writing events.

The Creative Writing events take place at the Longridge Library.

Lancashire libraries care and cater for the needs of their local communities and are recognised as a safe space and often the main community hub. The library service is continual involved with new projects to ensure they provide what is needed locally for all ages. By running regular events and acting as the venue for many other local groups’ activities, they endeavour to help tackle the issues leading to social isolation.

The need for volunteers to help assist the service, by helping under supervision to provide many of the activities and projects, is vital.
