What are your memories of Wrexham Library? Special exhibition planned to celebrate its 50th birthday

The Wrexham Library is turning 50 this year and to celebrate its half a century in the town centre, residents are being asked to share their memories of the building.

Opened in December 1972 the library, on Rhosddu Road, had a music library, study carrels for private study and a children’s library – featuring the popular kinderpit.

To mark its 50 years in the town, an exhibition to showcase Wrexham Library over the years is being held.

Those who have visited the library over the decades are being encouraged to help make sure the celebratory exhibition displays everything that has made it feel special to local residents since it opened.

Maybe it brings back fond family memories? Do you remember your first visit? Maybe you saw it opening? Perhaps you even met your future partner there? Whatever your story, we would like to hear it.

Do you have any photographs of the library over the years that you would like to be part of the exhibition? Perhaps you have some memorabilia – certificates, original library cards or leaflet from events?

If you have a story or something that could be used as part of the exhibition, you can take it along to your local library, call us on 01978 292020 or email [email protected].

Please send us you photos, items and memories before the end of October (but the sooner the better as we are looking forward to seeing and hearing them!).

The exhibition will be on display later this year, when there will also be plenty of events to celebrate.
