July School Holiday Events: Astronomy!

Launch Rockets! Make a comet! Have a go at space activities! These school holidays we're running sessions for 9 to 12 year olds, and 4 to 8 year olds at a library near you. No bookings required, and the sessions are free, but please note the age limit on some sessions.

Please also note: if your child is unwell then please keep them at home!

Here's where it's happening

Regular Happenings

Baby Rock & Rhyme is a new way for parents and carers to interact with their babies through rhymes, finger-plays and stories delivered by experienced presenters. It's a great opportunity to have fun, socialise and spend quality 'one-on-one' time with your tot. Visit the parents' services page for session times.

NEW! Baby Rock & Rhyme on CD!

Now you can rock and rhyme with your children at home! Find out more about this on the parents' services page.

Library Bookclubs

We have two programmes for primary-aged children that run on a monthly basis (no meeting in January) at some of our branches:

BookBusters for seven to eight year olds.
BookBusters... have fun, read books, solve puzzles, write stories, draw pictures, win prizes!

BookBusters is a club just for 7 and 8 year olds. We meet once a month to talk about our favourite books, do activities, and listen to stories.

BookSeekers for nines to twelves.
BookSeekers is a cool FREE book club for 9 to 12 year olds. We meet once a month at the library and share our reading experiences. Our club leaders make sure there are plenty of enjoyable activities to keep us busy at meetings.
