On Thursday 7th June at 2pm, Okehampton Library will be launching ‘Moor Memories’ a chance to listen to memories from the Dartmoor National Park oral history project that recorded stories of everyday life on the moor during the 20th Century.
Throughout the whole half term week, June 2012, children and their parents and carers can join in a ‘hunt’ around the library to find some of the Queen’s favourite things – all correct entries will be put into the Queen’s handbag and there will be prizes for two lucky winners.
