Wallasey Central Library will be turning Japanese on Saturday 20th August.
Visitors to the library will have a rare chance to immerse themselves in Japanese culture with calligraphy, basic Japanese language lessons - and even a chance to try on a kimono!
There’ll also be Japanese arts and crafts on display, including painting and haikus – and story-telling for all ages from the land of the rising sun.
The event is being organised by the Friends of Wallasey Central Library to raise money for the Japan Red Cross Tsunami Appeal and the Friends Group. The will be a raffle to win an Everton shirt signed by the team and lots of other prizes.
The event is being organised by Friends Group member, Natsuko Isa, who said: "I have been wanting to do something good for society ever since I moved to the UK and since the Tsunami struck Japan I have been looking for the opportunity to help those who were affected the most.
“Organising the Japanese Day in Wallasey Central Library is my dream come true. We want as many people as possible come along on the day to have fun with us as well as to have a meaningful time together!"
The Japanese Day takes place between 10am and 4pm, although the library will close for lunch between 1pm and 2pm. For more information, contact Wallasey Central Library on 0151 639 2334.
