Maidenhead Library

by The Maidenhead Library Team

Following the great success of the Punk Gig held in Maidenhead Library, we are continuing to find different and engaging ways to place this iconic venue on the map locally, not just as a wonderful community resource for books and information, but also as an exciting event venue.

In September, we have two very different evening events planned. On Saturday 14th September, we will be hosting a Bhangra Evening. This will be a wonderful chance to enjoy traditional Bhangra music and join (or just watch!) in the dancing from 5-9pm. Tickets are selling at £6.50 each and are available now on Eventbrite.

There will be a paid bar with proceeds going to the Friends of RBWM Libraries.

William Grenfell (Lord Desborough) also had an interesting personal life which will be explored during the talk, with information about his time when he lived at Taplow Court. everyone and should make this year’s Summer Reading Challenge as appealing as ever.

This year’s challenge is called Marvellous Makers and is all about being creative.

The events being hosted in different library branches across the summer will reflect this creative theme: from Junk Modelling to knotting to origami and watercolours. There really will be something for
