Sunderland Libraries in Tyne and Wear is starting a new programme of community events on 20 March 2026 to encourage residents to visit their local library branches. The schedule includes a variety of free activities designed to help people make more use of the facilities in their neighbourhoods.

The events will take place across several locations, including Washington, Houghton, and the City Library. Families can attend children’s story sessions and film screenings, while those interested in history can take part in workshops to research their family trees.

The library service is managed by Culture House Sunderland, which works to make libraries active social spaces for everyone. According to Sunderland City Council, these spring activities are part of an ongoing effort to provide accessible educational and fun opportunities for the city.

The council keeps a regular calendar of events to ensure there is always something happening at the local branches. Residents can find more details about the specific times for these sessions on the official council website.
