Join Dementia Friends Champion Claire for a Dementia Friends session.
Dementia touches the lives of millions of people across the country. Dementia Friends was launched to tackle the stigma and lack of understanding that means many people with the condition experience loneliness and social exclusion.
The session is all about learning more about dementia and the small ways you can help. From getting in touch with someone you know living with dementia to wearing your badge with pride, every action counts.
Tickets available from any Explore Library or call Dringhouses Library on (01904 552674) or dringhouses@exploreyork.org.uk.
This half term we will be holding a fun and different craft event with print-maker and artist Jane Kennelly. Come along for ‘Winter trees: Branches, berries, and buds’ and make beautiful pictures for pages for a giant book to decorate the library! Sponsored by York Evening Decorative and Fine Art Society (YEDFAS).
This historical-music recreation will recreate a concert given on 16 December 1868 in what was then Dringhouses School and Reading Room. With Victorian music, carols, and readings, experience the library as it was 148 years ago, and bring in the festive season with Christmas spirit!
Author Pauline Kirk talks about her new book, an edited memoir of her Uncle’s letters to his wife while serving in the RAF during WWII.
Join the Friends of Dringhouses Library for an evening all about Dringhouses during the wars.
