Would you like to learn to play ukulele for free?
You can now loan a Ukulele from Southport Library the same way you would loan a book.
The Atkinson and Southport Library are working in collaboration with The Ukulele Project North West and Ukulele Buddies to allow our adult Library Members to gain access to music and connect with the local community across Sefton.
You will be able to loan a ukulele in soprano, concert or tenor size (that’s small, medium or large) from Southport library in the same way that you borrow a book, all you need is a Sefton library card.
Each loan will come with a introduction guide to give you information on how to play your ukulele, songsheets and lots of information on where you can buy a ukulele, find a teacher, or a local strumalong / open mic session or group.
In addition there will be some free teaching sessions available from Southport library with expert tutor Karine Woodward. Places are limited so if you are interested contact Southport Library to find out more.
