Sharing is Caring
How we helped children at a Lancashire school celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It all started with a message from Ann Montgomery, the librarian at Bury Grammar School. She wrote:
We are planning a small display to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Sgt Pepper album and its local connection to Rochdale. We'd be grateful for permission to use the image of your poster as part of our display.
Ann was referring to our Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite print and, of course, how could we say no to a new generation eager to celebrate the greatest band of all time!
We sent over some artwork and Ann duly sent us this photo of the display (above), proudly being shown off by Alex, one of the student librarians who created it.
