User Group

Did you know that the library has a User Group? They meet every other month and give us very useful feedback on the way the library service is run and make suggestions for possible improvements.

The group is made up of a number of library users who have agreed to meet with us six times a year for about an hour.We are very grateful to them for their support of the library and for the honest and frank opinions they offer us.

If you would be interested in joining our User Group either now or in the future please let us know. In particular we would welcome some young members!

An evening with a Liverpool Pilot...

The "Friends" were delighted to welcome John Curry to the library on 27th October to talk about his life as a Liverpool Pilot. John's talk was very much enjoyed as was his sequence of photographs showing us exactly how an enormous container vessel was eased into dock!Refreshments were served afterwards.
