90-year-old Mancunians are being invited to help celebrate the 90th Birthday of the City’s Central Library
Library staff are asking for help in finding Mancunians born in the city, 90 years ago or earlier, or who are also celebrating their 90th birthdays in July and are able to attend this unique event, to get in touch with the library. Staff will send a special invite to attend this anniversary event. ( details at the end of the release).
This milestone birthday is being celebrated with a series of fun-filled events, taking place throughout the summer season and beyond.
As well as the one-off birthday celebration on 17 July, the library has already seen huge numbers of people getting involved in events as part of the 90 celebrations and anticipate many more in forthcoming events this summer season.
The celebrations launched in May with the brilliant Blue Peter Book Club Live event in Central Library which saw hundreds of families in attendance. And continues with the Blue Peter badge trail inviting families to take part in a badge hunt across the city for a special grand prize and to spread the joy of reading among children. Children will also be able to discover the Blue Peter Book Club booklist in unexpected settings as part of a series of “Book Hunt” events in Manchester parks and open spaces over the summer months.
Earlier this month, Manchester Histories Festival was a huge success and still to come for the romantics out there is the Love Stories etc Festival; heart-felt retelling of contemporary romance fiction with book signings and author talks (ticket only) on Saturday 13 July.
