It's officially winter and trips to the beach, walks on the hill and playing outside just aren't as much fun anymore. Luckily there is a lot going on at the library over these colder months.

Our Story Time sessions are a fun way to spend the day and are now held six days a week, as we introduce our brand new Saturday Story Time!

Held at 11am in the Elma Turner Library, the whole family is invited to read stories and do craft activities with us on those cold winter days. The next session will be on Saturday 16 June and we hope to see you there.

Following the success of our Summer Reading Challenge for children, we've launched our first Winter Reading Challenge, which runs until 31 August. Children will be given a puzzle piece each time they complete an activity challenge, which will help their puzzle grow over the weeks. When the participants complete the challenge, they will have their own jigsaw puzzle!

Children can sign up by visiting any of our branches.

Meanwhile, Anna Maitland, will be playing the flute at the Elma Turner Library as part of the Live Music series on Sunday 24 June at 2pm.
