Barn Dance Between The Bookshelves!

 At the end of last month the Friends of Chorley Library hosted their second community event, a barn dance between the (carefully repositioned!) bookshelves with live music generously provided by local folk band Fit For Purpose.

It was an incredibly exciting evening. It was fantastic to see people of all ages turn up to support their library and experience great entertainment in such an unusual setting!  The atmosphere at the barn dance was absolutely vibrant and buzzing. To see so many different people jumping in and grabbing the opportunity to dance with each other in such a special place, and to raise money for such an important part of our community, was brilliant. 

Our group are constantly innovating with new ways to engage and inspire the community through live music events, arts & cultural workshops led by award-winning artists, author evenings and we're currently planning our next event: an indie boardgame night in June this year!

So, if you have any ideas for events you'd like to see, or you'd like to know more about us as a group: please get in touch at friendsofchorleylibrary@gmail.com or leave us a comment below. We're so excited to be regularly putting on events and meeting so many people who are passionate about their library and community!
