Wigan Library hosted a free, family-friendly “Explore Islam” event to celebrate Islamic culture through hands-on activities — sparking dialogue and community connection. Organized by “Meet Your Muslim Neighbours,” a group founded in 2004 dedicated to bridging Muslim and non-Muslim communities, the event faced criticism from a local councilor who argued libraries shouldn’t promote religion — though the council defended it as vital for countering division and misinformation. No council funds were used; the library promoted the event, which included henna painting, word hunts, and a “Try Your Hijab” station.
