Upcoming Events At The Library

We have been told of two events that are coming up shortly at the library:

European Citizenship Fair 2013

Europe Direct Wrexham is currently organising a European Citizenship fair to be held in Queen’s Square Wrexham on the 21st June.

As this year is being celebrated as the European Year of the Citizen the aim of this event is to inform people of Wrexham of their rights across Wales and the European Union as well as notify people of organisations and support services available locally and across the continent.

The day will be in a form of market place with many organisations attending such as British Council, European Parliament in the UK, Welsh Assembly outreach bus, European Consumer Centre in the UK, Wrexham Library Service, Welfare Reform Information, Economic Development, Glyndwr University as well as others. The event will run in between the hours of 10am and 3pm in between which local people can browse the information stands or take a look inside the Welsh Assembly Bus.

James Wharton Book Launch

Wrexham Library will be hosting the local launch of James Wharton’s first book: Out in the Army. James is a local author who attended Ysgol Bryn Alyn in Gwersyllt before embarking on a career in the army where he served with the Household cavalry in the Blues and Royals. His book is subtitled “My Life as a Gay Soldier” and tells of his experiences in southern Iraq, helping at the 7/7 bombings and serving the Royal family. In 2009, he was featured on the cover of the army magazine Soldier and gave an interview about being a gay member of the armed forces. James will be talking about his book and his experiences in the army at Wrexham Library on Thursday 27th June at 7.00pm. Entrance is free but a ticket should be obtained in advance from the library.
