A Postcard from Meriden for Local and Community History Month at Meriden Library
Thursday 7 May to Monday 1 June 2026
Special Sunday opening on 17 May for the 105th National Cyclists' Memorial Service

This month, Meriden Library is inviting the village community to take a trip down memory lane and remember days gone by in Meriden, with the return of the local history exhibition, A Postcard from Meriden. The library held this exhibition in May last year for the first time, following on from similar successful exhibitions about Balsall Common at the library there. Visitors are invited to share their memories by filling in a postcard in the library to be pegged on a special โ€˜reminiscence washing lineโ€™. The library will also have a special opening on Sunday 17 May from 10am until 1pm, to welcome visitors to the village attending the 105th Cyclists' Memorial and Celebration of Cycling Service, which will take place at 11am around the Cyclists' Memorial on the Meriden village green.

Another fun Stories and Painting at Meriden Library this afternoon, thank you for bringing the sunshine with you! Today we shared a lovely story gifted to us by BookTrust, called Into the Wild by Thomas Docherty, all about a boy called Joe who loved 'the wild' and had the most amazing imagination! We don't think we've ever seen giraffes in Meriden ๐Ÿค”

Then we painted these beautiful pictures of a vixen and her cubs. Nice work, little artists! ๐ŸŽจ๐ŸฆŠ

The sun was shining โ˜€๏ธ, and so were all our lovely little visitors to Stories and Painting at Meriden Library this afternoon! We had a super fun time sharing Ten Little Ducklings by Lucy Rowland and Aki, which was kindly gifted to us by BookTrust, together with the very cute stickers. Then we painted our own excellent little ducklings ๐ŸŽจ ๐Ÿฆ†

Don't forget, there is no Stories and Painting next Monday as we are closed for the bank holiday ๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒธ
