Research sessions at Scarborough Library
Citizen Researchers have formed an essential part of the From Local To Global project and part of this has involved developing research skills through sessions at both Woodend and Central Library

Open Evening at the Library
Scarborough Library was the chosen venue for the launch of ‘From Local to Global’ project on Thursday 20 January. This partnership event with the library and Scarborough Museums & Galleries was promoted through social media and a variety of other platforms to highlight interest within the community.
