Well done Oldham !

Honouring Dolly Parton’s legacy in Oldham 💖

Following the sad news of Dolly’s passing, we’re shining a light on one of the incredible legacies she leaves behind: the Imagination Library 📚

Did you know Oldham has its own Imagination Library programme? Set up by local volunteers in 2021, it has helped 42 children receive a free book every month, inspiring a lifelong love of reading. The team now hopes to reach even more children across the borough.

If you would like to donate in Dolly’s memory, visit the link below, choose to support a specific local programme & select Oldham: https://donate.imaginationlibrary.com/

Local volunteer Zoe had the privilege of meeting and interviewing Dolly while working as Editor of country music magazine Maverick & even told her all about Oldham 🙌

A wonderful way to honour Dolly’s memory and continue the work she cared so deeply about 📖✨

🎲 Important Update: Community Games Night Temporary Relocation 🎲

Please be advised that, due to essential roof repair works at Lancaster Central Library, our Community Games Night will temporarily relocate to the following venue with immediate effect:

📍 Positive Futures
701 Cameron House
White Cross Industrial Estate, South Road
Lancaster, LA1 4XF

This arrangement commences this Friday, 14 August, and will continue on a fortnightly basis until the library reopens. We would like to thank Positive Futures for allowing us to use their space allowing us to continue this ever growing games night.

There will be a library of popular games that will remain available at the new location. Participants are also still welcome to bring their own games and use the space.

We look forward to welcoming you to our new temporary location this Friday and appreciate your understanding during this period.
