Lots going on at Stourport Library this
February
A series of events will be
taking place at Worcestershire County Council's Stourport Library
this February.
The first follows the success of Jain
McKay's, artist in residence introductory coffee morning. Jain will
be holding another for budding artists, or anyone interested in art
to find out about getting involved in the 5x5x5 project.
The 5x5x5=creativity art project is taking
place across Worcestershire and is funded by the Arts council of
England and Worcestershire Arts Partnership. The aim is to
take art out of the galleries and into the community by using five
public spaces and five local artists. The aim is to challenge
traditional ideas of where art can be enjoyed through the use of
unusual and innovative locations.
The coffee morning will take place on
Saturday 4 February from 10.30am until 12 noon.
Following on from this, Residents over the
age of 50 are being invited to attend a drop in Eyes Right session
on Thursday 9 February. Sight Concern Worcestershire is offering
residents the opportunity to have free simple eye checks and advice
and guidance on keeping your eyes healthy. The session will run
from 2pm until 4pm.
Another drop in event taking place on
Thursday, February 2 is a Health MOT morning, which will run from
10am until 12noon. The free event offers residents the opportunity
to get advice and have blood pressure and BMI checks.
Age UK will be holding their next monthly
session on Tuesday 14 February from 10am until 12.30pm. These
sessions are held the 2nd Tuesday of each month and
offer information and advice on a range of subject from money to
health.
And finally, the Waste Prevention Team will
be on hand for a composting clinic on Tuesday 14 February from 1pm
until 4.30pm, offering advice and guidance for the perfect
compost.
Maureen Hobbs, Library Manager
said; "It's really exciting to be holding so many events
for the local community to come and be part of, we hope we offer
something for everyone."
