Oldham Libraries

It's official - we are the best library in the world 🌎 😀 Our fantastic visitors make our spaces so special - thanks for the lovely feedback.

@Oli_Sykes89 @dawnkilner Well done Ollie, so well deserved!

@dawnkilner Thanks so much @dawnkilner. I'm incredibly grateful to get to work and collaborate with you too! 🫶x

So very happy for @Oli_Sykes89, who was awarded an MBE this week. Oliver's children's books, poetry and live shows highlight differing family dynamics and struggles through lively and uplifting tales. I'm so grateful to have been able to work and collaborate with him.

We are happy to announce that Royton Library is now open! Apologies for the short delay to opening this morning, but we are all back up and running now.

Good morning all. We regret to inform you that we are having a little difficulty opening Royton Library this morning. We are working to resolve the issue & hope to open soon. We will let you all know as soon as Royton Library is open again. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

@GrandadWheels @dan__worsley Sorry Grandad Wheels, we tried to mix it up a bit this year but we'd love to have you back some time in the future!

@dan__worsley @OldhamLibraries Great stuff! I wasn't invited this year

Top day spent at Beever Primary as part of #StoryFest @OldhamLibraries 📚 Worked with every year from Nursery to Y6 in possibly the hottest storytelling conditions EVER 🔥 Can confirm the book buzz in Oldham is strong 📚🐝 💪

Back in Blackburn for some Writer in Residence action at St Matthews - Y3 & 4 today. It’s cold and rainy but definitely getting a bit lighter earlier. Grabbing every positive available 🙌☀️✍️📚

Morning #edutwitter! If you are still planning your World Book Day celebrations, I've got some availability left for March author visits. I offer stereotype busting, resilience building assemblies with an Ancient Roman or BMX twist and a range of fun creative writing workshops.

@Perinatallinz @PennineCareNHS We're looking forward to seeing you on the 31st Jan!

Come and join us next Friday @OldhamLibraries for the happy baby happy you event. We will be offering a baby bonding taster session. @PennineCareNHS

We love it when @Oli_Sykes89 is in the building! Come along for his live show - We Are Family, or a free and fun writing workshop this half term.

Notice for anyone due to attend the Citizens Advice drop in at Failsworth Library today - due to advisor sickness, this will not be running. An alternative drop in is available at the Customer Service Centre at Spindles, 10am - 4pm. Spindles Shopping Centre West Street OL1 1HD

@moorlandmadam Hi, if you would like to drop me an email with your library card number or your name and date of birth I can check your card for you and renew your books. My email is karen.jowitt@oldham.gov.uk or alternatively ring the contact centre on 0161 770 8000.

.@OldhamLibraries Hi there, I have books to renew but I'm abroad so can't call or visit the library and my login isn't working - it keeps auto filling the pin field with too many characters. I've asked to reset my password but no email has arrived. What can I do?

POSTPONED! Unfortunately due to illness we have taken the decision to postpone this evening's Lonely Arts Club Oldham event. Apologies to anyone looking forward to it even half as much as we were, however worry not, we're planning some more sessions for next year at the moment!

Weird and wonderful vibes here at Oldham Libraries! We always enjoy working with you, too @InclusiveBytes
