Letter Writing Week

To celebrate World Letter Writing Day (September 1), rediscover the art of letter writing by penning a letter to a friend or family member. A letter writing station will be set up at each of our libraries across the week (1 September to 7 September).

Use the materials supplied to create your letter. You can post it yourself or drop it into our special letterbox and we will mail it for you at the end of the week.

You might just make someone’s day!
