Linwood Library's 10th Birthday - December 2003
See a photo gallery of the celebrations
In celebration of ten years of library service at Linwood, library staff planned a week of events. They began with a community morning tea enjoyed by young and old, to the cool sound of Cashmere High School’s jazz band, "Established". Christmas decorations tested the skills of the younger set and glue and glitter attracted those with a creative urge in the afternoon. A group of talented youngsters hip-hopped the following morning away under the tutelage of Zion Dance Group.
Thursday the 18th December 2003 was the Library's actual birthday. Natural Magic enthralled an enthusiastic audience of littlies with their pirate performance. Friday saw the Linwood team back with the glue and glitter and an amazing array of Christmas accessories for the tree. Matt Lecomte’s Old Time Band delighted customers with their rendition of songs from the 20s and 30s on Saturday and provided a truly festive conclusion to the week.
Giveaways galore over the week meant that every customer received a small gift - balloons, pens, bags.
