The joint initiative by the Guille-Alles Library and Sports Commission will see golf, table tennis, boxing and ‘Hands Up’ volleyball – a new, accessible, seated version of the sport – take over rooms on the top floor of the library, including the Hayward Room and gallery.
‘The weather in November can often restrict the opportunity for people to be active, but thanks to the support of the library we are going to be offering some fun indoor sporting activities for all ages and abilities, right in the heart of the Town,’ said Nicky Will from the Sports Commission.
Library staff are also looking forward to the event’s return.
‘We could not believe how busy we were again last year,’ said Jackie Burgess, its community and wellbeing lead. ‘Supporting health and wellbeing is a key part of the library’s mission, and we hope the event will highlight that sport is accessible to all and can be played anywhere, any time.’
A reading area will also be set aside to encourage both children and adults to pick up one of the sports books that the library has available.
Sport in the Library 3 will take place on Saturday 22nd November between 10am and 2pm on the upper floor of the Guille-Alles Library, and is free to attend.
