Wokingham Borough Council has recently been celebrating a fantastic milestone with one of the town's most loved amenities. 

A spokesperson for the council recently posted on social media that Wokingham Library recently celebrated its 100-year anniversary! 

The spokesperson posted the following caption along with a series of photographs from the event.

They said: "We had an AMAZING time celebrating 100 years of Wokingham Library

"Thank you to everyone who came to learn more about the history of the library and enjoy delicious homemade cakes.

"We held a charity coffee morning to celebrate and raised more than £150 for SHARE Wokingham."

The celebration was held at the library, part of the Carnival Hub in Wokingham, on Thursday, September 5 from 10 am to 11.30 am.

The council’s libraries service looked back on a century of serving the community and the history of the library, which has had four different homes.

Cllr Rachel Bishop-Firth, executive member for resident services, inclusion and fighting poverty, said: “I am very excited to be attending the 100th birthday party for Wokingham Library. All our libraries are fantastic resources for the community, providing safe spaces where residents can get the help they need.

“Wokingham Library has had lots of different homes over the years, but only moved to the Carnival Hub two years ago and it has already proven to be a brilliant addition to our library offer in the borough.

"No celebration of this kind would be possible without looking back to thank all of the dedicated staff."
