Local libraries are hoping to have a laugh with local jokers as they celebrate Black Country Day on Sunday 14 July.
Black Country Libraries in Partnership, which includes Sandwell Library and Information service, are holding a Black Country Family Joke Competition – with prizes for the funniest up for grabs.
Anyone with a Black Country joke to share should enter by emailing their entry to Wolverhampton Libraries atmylibraryservice@wolverhampton.gov.uk by 14 July.
Library staff will pick their favourites and post them on social media www.twitter.com/sandwelllibs or www.facebook.com/sandwelllibraries
Then people across the Black Country will get to vote for their favourite joke by simply liking the post they find funniest. Voting will close on Saturday 27 July.
It’s free to join Sandwell Libraries. For more information, please visit www.sandwell.gov.uk/libraries.
Cabinet member Councillor Bob Lloyd said: “We hear a lot of funny stories around the local towns and it would be great to hear some of them in this competition.
“I would urge people to get involved – and have a bit of a laugh!
