Make time for a visit to the library this weekend – there’s still plenty of time to finish The Summer Reading Challenge. Well done to all the children that have finished already!

Final children’s activity of the summer holidays (where did the weeks go?!). Join us for hands on animal experience with Lion Learners. £5 per child. 10.30am.

Join us for a slime making workshop. £5 per person. From 10.30am

Every year countless pieces of cracker, biscuit and cake wrappers end up in landfills across the UK.  We are working with Terracycle to put an end to this enormous loss of resources.

All brands of wrappers can be recycled.  Please make sure wrappers are clean.  No random bags or other plastics. Collection box is available during library opening hours (Tuesday and Friday 9-5pm, Wednesday and Saturday 9am-1pm).  

Help us work towards reducing plastic waste!

Join us from 10.30am. Free!

Congratulations to our first finisher today! But there’s still time to get involved in the #SummerReadingChallenge. Sign up at the library. Aim of the Challenge is to read six books over the holidays collecting rewards along the way and a certificate and medal for each child who completes the Challenge. This year’s theme is SpaceChase to mark the 50th anniversary of the moon landings. #spacechase #summerreadingchallenge

Come and join in some community rock painting in the library from 1030am

Join us this summer for weekly activities in the library and sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge!

“The Summer Reading Challenge is about reading for the pleasure of reading. Stories are important because they nourish us and broaden our thinking. Librarians and all those involved in the huge success of the Summer Reading Challenge know how important this is and seek to change lives one book at a time.”

LAUREN CHILD, WATERSTONES CHILDREN’S LAUREATE 2017-19

“The Summer Reading Challenge is a wonderful initiative – what could be better than getting our children into libraries? I can’t recommend it highly enough. My son has always been a listener but now he’s also a reader.”

MAGGIE O’FARRELL, NOVELIST AND MOTHER
