Last week we were treated to author Lauren J. Joseph in conversation with artist Garth Gratrix.
Lauren read from her awesome new novel 'Lean Cat, Savage Cat', discussed the book and her writing process with Garth, and answered many carefully considered and thought provoking questions from the audience.
It was an enthralling evening, and we didn't want it to end.
Come back soon Lauren!

You can borrow Lean Cat, Savage Cat from your local Blackpool Library...

If you'd like to, you can also have a look and place a reservation for it on our catalogue here 👇

☀️ What a way to spend a bank holiday weekend! ☀️

We had the most amazing Sunday at Layton Library enjoying a magical musical adventure as the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra presented The Gingerbread Man, as seen on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the day special.

The performances were funded by Note Weavers CIC as part of their Youth Music-funded Sound Beginnings project, supporting early years musical engagement and access to high-quality live music.
