What another amazing night at the library! At the Friends of Chorley Library, we're so passionate about upholding the library as not only a space for learning and community, but for culture, innovation and fun! That's why we were so thrilled to host incredible comedian James Meehan as well as the hilarious Danny Sutcliffe for a night of comedy at the library.
Yeah, okay, we know everyone thinks you have to be quiet in libraries or face some dissaproving shhes, but I think we're slowly turning the tide on that. There were huge laughs, a warm atmosphere and rapturous applause shaking the books (maybe, just maybe helped a little by our now infamous library gin bar!).
The night was perfect, and if you ever get your chance to see either of these fantastic comedians again DO. A huge thank you to James and Danny, along with their team, and as usual a big thanks to Chris Bolton for sorting our sound system; the rest of the friends group for such a stand-up job; and of course a enormous thank you to everyone who come along, we raised an incredible amount for the library!
We're really becoming such a team now, and with each event we put on things are running more and more flawlessly. It's fantastic to see such a huge, welcoming response from Chorley folk (and those who come from further away!) - we've even heard on the grapevine that the head of libraries in London is impressed with us! So here's to new events, new friends and a library full of life.
Next events:
- Nov 25th 10-12 - Friends of Chorley Library AGM (EVERYONE INVITED!) Free cake, free brews! Come and have a chat!
- Dec 16th - Christmas Bonanza! - Festive Choir, Christmas craft & illustration stalls, mince pies & warmth!
