This February 17, Willows Library will become the next setting to host the council’s Cultural Roadshow as it continues its tour around North East Lincolnshire.

2012 is the year of the London Olympic Games and to celebrate this historic event North East Lincolnshire Council’s sports and arts development team in partnership with libraries have organised a ‘Cultural Roadshow’ of exciting activities.

The roadshow started at Waltham Library earlier this month, but will eventually tour each library throughout the borough. During its travels the roadshow will showcase a variety of sport, art, language and reminiscence taster sessions.

The sessions are open to everyone and include activates like Tai Chi, which is a great way to stay fit. Tai Chi is low impact and accessible, meaning that these sessions can be enjoyed by people of any age or ability.

In March there will also be a reminiscence session, where members of the community can look back at local life in the 1940′s and share their memories.

A full list of the sessions at Willows Library includes:
