A fun-filled Winter of Wellbeing in your local library

Children and young people have an opportunity to take part in exciting activities in their local library and online over the next two months as Denbighshire Libraries launch their Winter of Wellbeing programme.

It’s part of a national campaign funded by the Welsh Government to help children and young people feel better at the start of 2022 after the difficult pandemic period. The fun-filled and varied programme is an opportunity for Denbighshire children to re-engage with their local library and with each other.

In partnership with Menter Iaith Sir Ddinbych, the theatre company Mewn Cymeriad has been presenting their new show based on the book ’10 Stories from Welsh History’ by Ifan Morgan Jones and many local schools have visited their local library to enjoy this special interactive show which helps children learn about their nation’s history.

Throughout March, there will be exciting art and craft workshops in libraries on Saturday mornings, with different artists offering a chance to experiment and have creative fun as a family. The workshops have been arranged by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd’s Active Communities in partnership with Denbighshire Libraries.

During half term families to take part in a crazy slightly wild online virtual Story Hunt with storyteller John Kirk.

On top of all this, there is also an exciting virtual programme arranged for the whole of Wales by libraries and the Reading Agency offering online events for children and young people featuring some very familiar faces.
