Be part of the Coolwalks project in association with CoolTan Arts and Southwark Libraries. If you are interested in local history, love uncovering new facts, sharing stories and discovering hidden history help us to research, write and produce accurate copy for maps about community walks based around libraries in Southwark, South London. The libraries are East Street, Dulwich, Kingswood and Nunhead. Meetings generally take place on Mondays from 10 am to 12 noon and Thursday from 10 am to 2 pm, although it is not necessary to attend all the meetings. It would, however, be a useful bonus if you lived in Southwark. We welcome volunteers with disabilities. Please let us know your access requirements. If you are interested, please contact Project Coordinator, Georgina Rodgers at [email protected] or call on 020 7701 2696.
