Merton libraries are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help support our outdoor events this summer! Join us at Mitcham Carnival, Canons House & Grounds and Morden Park in July and August for some exciting events.
Merton libraries are actively involved in the vibrant community life of the borough, supporting exciting outreach events like Mitcham Carnival, summer festivals, and local fairs. These events are a fantastic opportunity to showcase the Library and Heritage Service, its extensive facilities, and diverse range of services. This summer, the libraries will also be hosting a series of engaging events and activities at the beautiful Canons House & Grounds and at Morden Park throughout July and August.
