Warrington residents are invited to celebrate Libraries Week 2026 with a series of free community events and family activities taking place across the town from 31 May to 6 June.
The week of festivities will kick off with a launch event at the Bewsey Dallam Community Hub on Sunday 31 May, running from 12pm to 2pm. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities including 3D printing demonstrations, badge-making, and musical spoons. The event will also feature fire engines and refreshments, along with a free family swim session between 1:30pm and 2:30pm, though this session requires booking in advance.
Following the launch, LiveWire will host five days of free activities from 2 June to 6 June across its 13 libraries in Warrington. The programme includes a range of accessible sessions for all ages, such as children’s craft hours, coding workshops, and dual language storytime. Adults can also participate in library reminiscence sessions, which are the only activities throughout the week that require advance booking through local branches.
These services are managed by LiveWire, which has operated under the direct control of Warrington Borough Council since March 2024. The council brought these leisure, library, and lifestyle services in-house to ensure continued community support and access to local facilities.
For more information on the full list of activities, residents can contact their local library branch or visit the official Libraries Week 2026 event page.
