REPORT FROM SECRETARY OF THE FRIENDS

The A.G.M. of the Friends of the Library was held on Sunday 25th of February in the Annexe. This was the first event held in the hall since Hazel Blear's colleagues painstakingly (and painfully) cleaned and painted the hall. Friends were delighted to be able to use the Annexe once again and a very happy atmosphere was generated.
