Pop up history & health checks

Today the Library hosted a pop-up museum of medical history with two 're-enactors' in the roles of a 1940's nurse and doctor. IN the morning, troops of school children & people from the opportunities centre stopped by and grilled them with lots of questions about what health care was like in the 1940s (before the NHS came into being) and then the whole exhibition was open to the public in the afternoon.

Julie and I went along to see what was happening. Elsewhere in the library, today's nurses were giving our free health checks (blood pressure, cholesterol etc) and they were fully booked all day.

Here is everyone in a group pic followed by one a little more close up of some of the artefacts on display. Thanks so much to everyone involved including of course our wonderful library staff who help pull all this together.
