During May, Medway Libraries are working with the Stroke Association to raise awareness on how to reduce your risk of stroke, and will show a selection of suitably purple themed books.

The libraries are hosting two events where you can have your blood pressure checked for free, and you can discuss the best ways to reduce your risk of stroke.

The events are at Rochester Library, on Tuesday, 17 May – 10am to 3pm, and Gillingham Library on Wednesday, 18 May 10am to 3pm. They are drop-in sessions, so there is no need to book. Just turn up on the day!
