After being closwed for several months following a roof leak, the Local Studies room in the library is about to re-open.
Saturday 5th february (10am-4pm) will be the official opening. The staff are putting on an exhibition of some of their treasures and rarely-seen items.

Must be worth a visit.

Accrington is the only library in the county ( I think) which has a room devotyed to Local studies AND staff too. John and Kath share the job. They haven;'t been doing it all that long, but do have a good knowledge and a lot of enthusiasm.

I feel sure that there will be people there from the local history society and the family history society to help with any queries.

It maya bee too that members of the Lancashire Authors Association will be there too, showing off the society's collection , which is housed in the
'back room'.
