Black History Month

All libraries will be running special storytime sessions during October to celebrate Black History Month. It's also your chance to nominate your person of influence who you feel was particularly inspirational. This will be running during October at Greenhill, Pinner, Roxeth and Stanmore Libraries. The top ten names voted for at each branch will be on display in your local library.
