New Reading Garden is haven for book lovers at Golborne Library

by Editor

There’s now somewhere very special for you to enjoy some peace and tranquility with a book, thanks to the beautiful new Reading Garden at Golborne Library.

Created with help from the volunteers of Golborne in Bloom, the community garden now offers a haven for book lovers, right in the heart of our town.

The aim of the space is to provide a free, welcoming garden for Golborne residents and library members to use. It could host community picnics, play dates, reading, relaxing… whatever people would like to use it for!

Reading Garden at Golborne Library

The new Reading Garden is a tranquil, multi-purpose space.

The library will also utilise the extra space for community groups who may want to meet outside on warm days, deliver activities for children and extend what the library has to offer to its surrounding community.

The project has been made possible by Golborne in Bloom, and funding from Wigan Council Communities Team’s Supporting Communities Fund, with support from various other agencies and members of the public.

So, next time you’re passing, make sure you give the garden a visit. You’ll be glad you did!

Leigh Lions are constantly helping as many people, groups & other charities as possible. They are only a small group of people and yet give up their valuable time to fund Rays at all the summer fates and on the sleigh outside morrisons all of December and various other fundraising parties they create. All the money goes back into the community from one individual person to, a large group. It always goes to where it’s needed the most and they are the ones you can rely on to help locally.
