Can’t believe we open THIS WEEK!
Because our Greek Thomson Exhibition 22nd March – 12th April will be held in the John McLintock Hall and not in Balfron Library we’ll have to man it ourselves (in 2-hour slots) : Saturdays 10am – 4pm and weekdays 1pm -5pm.
We are looking for volunteers to supervise the Exhibition in 2-hour slots from 22nd March to 12th April : Saturday hours 10am-4pm and Weekdays 1pm-5pm. Supervision will be in pairs; so, you will always have someone with you. The Exhibition should be self-explanatory; so, no extra in-depth knowledge should be needed.
