🌿💚🌱 For the second year running National Libraries Week has gone Green! Happy Green Libraries Week. 🌿💚🌱
Alongside the usual rhyme times, story times, crafts, book groups and class visits, in our children’s libraries this week, you will also find Green activities like the .library Saturday craft club which will be painting natures friends as their craft material on Saturday. And of course, it goes without saying, all branches have a wonderful selection of books on ecology for our younger generation to peruse and borrow!
