Warrington Libraries Youth Council

Warrington Libraries Youth Council held their first meeting at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on 23rd October 2008. This initial meeting of pupil representatives from high schools and library book groups was mainly about planning the council and sharing ideas for future meetings. The Bibliotech group from Birchwood Library gave an excellent presentation about their recent healthy eating and Paddington Bear projects and then there was a discussion about the Library Offer to Young People. As part of the national Fulfilling Their Potential Programme, our Warrington Library Council members have been asked to take part in this consultation. They have been asked to canvas opinions of their peers in time for the next meeting in December. Keep an eye on the blog for more information and updates.
