What can people expect to find at their council library?

Most people don’t realise just how many different activities and learning opportunities local council libraries offer their visitors.  No longer simply spaces for borrowing books, council libraries now offer a range of weekly workshops and sessions that cater for all ages – from babies, toddlers and teens all the way up to the oldest of residents.

If you are a new mum, there is no better venue providing free daily indoor fun than your local library.  A great place to meet other parents, library sessions catering for young families include nursery rhyme sing and dance alongs as well as many craft and play workshops.

For the older children there are STEM building workshops, movie nights, bookclubs, homework help and more.
