Have you read the book "A Curious Ending" by Sally Page? Did you enjoy the book and are looking for inspiration on what to read next? Here are some recommendations that you can borrow from the library.

If we do not have a copy at Northallerton Library, you can order the book from another library and it will only cost you £1.25 when it arrives. You can either order from a member of staff or volunteer in the library or download the North Yorkshire Library app to request the book online.

Join our magical storyteller as they travel to the Firework Festival on Thursday, 29 October, at 2:30pm.

Join the journey where you will learn about Lila’s voyage across lakes and over mountains, facing her biggest fears and learning everything she needs to know to become the person she has always wanted to be.

This wonderful adventure for the whole family features talking elephants, silly kings, magical creatures, and the timeless message that we all have the power to become the person we dream of being.

Based on Philip Pullman’s award-winning novel, The Firework Maker's Daughter, this new intimate and fun production by Next Door But One (https://www.facebook.com/ndb1arts/) is inclusive and accessible for all, featuring Makaton, puppetry, and lots of audience participation!

Running time - 40 minutes

Suitable for children aged 4+ and their families.

All performances are presented as relaxed performances, which means audiences are free to move around, step outside and come back in, and generally do whatever it is they need to do to be comfortable and enjoy the performance.

The show is free, but booking is essential.

For more information and to book your place pop in, email [email protected] or call 01609 533832.
