A new program, titled “brain games”, is being aimed at older residents who are keen to give their brain a workout, meet new people and expand their interests. 

Held each Wednesday, every session includes new activities that are all aimed at exercising the most powerful muscle in the human body. 

“It’s been a huge success,” library assistant Jo Pianca said. “There are different tasks and activities each week and we’ve had a great response. 

“I’ve also given little homework tasks to them when I’ve run the session. Last time it was to ‘pay it forward’ and do something kind for someone else without expecting anything in return.” The sessions are held from 2pm to 3pm. Holiday activities are also set to kick off this week.
