Creative types of all ages help put on an exhibition to be proud of in Market Drayton
A town's library has once again been crammed to the rafters with the creative works of people aged from eight to 90.
Market Drayton Library has been inviting residents annually to submit their works of art under its Creative Community initiative to persuade people to use the ideally placed venue in the centre of town.
Librarian Tori Watson said: "They are a very creative bunch in Market Drayton and they have never let us down in three years.
"We have had some new exhibitors this year and now have 106 exhibits. The variety is amazing. We have an eight-year-old who had created jewellery out of paper rolling and another submission from a 90-year-old man.
"It all helps to bring footfall back into the library in Cheshire Street. We are also very well placed for other exhibitions... for a small fee!"
Members of staff at the library have also put their works of art forward.
"There is no editing or judging of the creations," Tori added. "We encourage everybody and have had everything from needlework to photography."
Organisations in the town have also contributed, including the local Men's Shed, the art club, and an afternoon crafters club calling themselves Crafter-noon.
"We just want to see what people are proud of," said Tori. "It will all be on display until the end of May and it is free to enter."
