Library events
There are many exciting library events happening in the next few months - and most are FREE to attend!
Here's just a sample of what's on offer ...
Win a Bike competition!
Enter our competition in partnership with Bikeability and you could win one of 45 bike light, lock and helmet kits or even a £250 Raleigh bike!
If you're 7 or under, design a cycle helmet for the future. 8 to 11's need to design a bike and 12 to 15 year olds need to design a poster to encourage others to wear a cycle helmet. Collect an entry form from any Wolverhampton Library.
Each Wolverhampton library will award a bike kit to a winner in each of the age categories. All entries will then go forward to a prize draw to win a Raleigh bike up to the value of £250.
