New mobile library prepares to hit the road
A state-of-the-art new mobile library for Leeds is gearing up to go into action for the first time next month. The new children and family mobile is the first mobile of its kind in our fleet as it has been designed to cater for young people under 12 and their families.
The vehicle will be seen in the coming weeks at festivals and community events around the city before it begins its working life visiting nurseries, early years settings and children's centres across Leeds.
Volunteering for London 2012 - information event in Leeds Central Library on Friday 10th September 2010, 3.00 - 5.00 pm. All welcome
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) launched the London 2012 Games Maker programme on 27 July 2010 to attract, train and retain dedicated and inspirational people for a wide variety of volunteer roles at Games time. To encourage applications (from 15 September 2010), the LOCOG volunteering team is hosting an information event in Leeds Central Library on Friday 10th September 2010.
The event is part of a UK wide tour to offer an opportunity to discuss the Games Maker programme (see www.london2012.com/volunteering for more information) and to raise awareness of other local volunteering opportunities in the area.
Memory drop-in sessions
From September, Leeds Central Library will be the venue for a monthly, informal drop-in service for people with memory problems, people with dementia, their carers, or anyone who would like more information.
Each drop-in session will be attended by a range of professionals with expertise in this field who will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Sessions run on the first Wednesday of the month, from 10.30am - 12.30pm, in the 3rd floor meeting room at the central library.
