More than 40 people visited the Macquarie Regional Library in Narromine on Friday to celebrate seniors week with a morning tea, and enjoyed the library's new display of the 1920s.

The display showed a brief timeline of events that happened in Narromine from 1919 through to 1929 and features a number of artefacts including an old Narromine band uniform from 1925 and magazines of the Australian Woman's Mirror.

Narromine Library assistant Belinda Barlow said the 1920s theme was chosen as many seniors could reminisce on the era or reflect what their parents or grandparents did during that time.

"The theme was chosen purely because this year is 2020 and we liked the idea of looking back on what the country, town and people were like during that era," she said.

"It's always lovely to hear the stories of what people remember fondly of days gone by and this was the perfect opportunity for them to reminisce and share their experiences."

Many visitors dressed up for the occasion and the library screened portions of a three-part series on the history of Australian cinema from 1896 to 1930, which incidentally showed Narromine's very own Open Air Cinema from 1923.

"Norma Meadley and her team of volunteers in the history room have been phenomenal in their research and collation of information," Ms Barlow said.

"Norma's husband, Bob Meadley, gave a brief talk about life as it would have been back in the 1920's, he held the audience captive with his knowledge and information."

The display will be on show for the next week, due to a significant amount of interest from members of the community.

The Narromine Library is open from 10.30am until 5.30pm weekdays and open from 10am to 12pm on Saturdays.
