Library events and activities

Leap Into Play initiative

We're very pleased to announce that Partington Library is part of the new Leap into Play initiative - which aims to provide a fantastic list of family-based activities and events for local Partington residents.

We are working alongside the Early Help Hub and The Hideaway, with a special treasure hunt running throughout March 2024. If you manage to visit all three of the sites and then hand in your complete hunt card to The Hideaway; you can collect a goodie bag and enter a prize draw to win a free trip to the Sea Life Centre in Manchester.

Further information and resources are available to collect at Partington Library, the Early Help Hub and The Hideaway.
