Lucky Library Draw for Golborne Resident

Photo Opportunity: Mrs Henderson will be at Golborne Library, Tanners Lane, Golborne, Warrington WA3 2AW on Friday 20th October at 2pm to collect her prize. Contact Golborne Library on 01942 777800.

One lucky library user has become the first winner of Golborne Library’s new prize draw!

The monthly prize draw at Golborne Library is part of a range of new initiatives being introduced by Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust to encourage more adults to use the borough’s libraries. This innovative idea has been hugely successful in its first month and a delighted Mrs Henderson will now walk away with a brand new TV and DVD combination.

Sheila O’Brien, Community Library Officer, explained, “The draw is a very simple idea but has already had a positive effect at Golborne. To participate, a person must be a member of the library, and over 18 years of age. Each time they take borrow an item or use the computers, they are issued with a raffle ticket, up to a maximum of one ticket per day. On the first Monday of each month, the winning ticket will be drawn, and the number advertised in the Golborne Library. We hope new users will come along and through this initiative see what a wonderful facility we have in Golborne.”

The regular draws will take place at Golborne Library each month for the next eleven months. Next month's lucky winner will receive a digital camera, so there has never been a better time to enjoy the library.

Golborne Library was also the first library in Wigan to be fully refurbished with the new Explore look that has been rolled out to all 16 libraries in the borough. Improvements included:
• access improvements
• replacement reception counter
• new shelving
• improved IT provision through purpose built IT furniture
• internal and external re-decoration
• internal and external signage

For further information on the prize draw or details of services available at Golborne please contact the library on 01942 777800 or visit www.wlct.org/libraries.
