Maidenhead Library

by The Maidenhead Library Team

Albert Einstein famously said “The only thing you absolutely have to know is the location of the library”. I trust everyone reading this has St Ives Road SL6 1QU firmly embedded in their memories, because without a doubt Maidenhead Library will be the place to be in June.

Everyone knows that libraries are a great place to go for books, and hopefully more and more people are becoming increasingly aware of the other fabulous things that go on in our buildings. In June, local RBWM branches are hosting a diverse series of exciting events.

Probably one of the things you’d least expect to find in a library on a Saturday evening is a music gig? And of all the genres, a punk gig probably seems the least likely? Well, we’re defying all expectations by hosting just such an event on Saturday 1 st June in Maidenhead Library from 4:30- 9pm. Wittily entitled “Never Mind the Books”, the Punk Dylans are providing entertainment, describing the evening as “old classic punk played by old classy punks”.

Tickets are £4 and available on Eventbrite. Proceeds from ticket sales will go to Maidenhead Men in Sheds. There will also be a bar which will raise money for the Friends of the Library.

We proved last summer during Maidenhead Library’s 50th birthday celebrations that the building Is a wonderful, flexible venue for events, so dig out your safety pins, polish your DMs, spruce up your mohicans, and come along for a truly unique experience.
