Summer of Fun at our Libraries

We’ve had a marvellous time in our libraries this summer, with lots of brilliant activities to encourage families to visit their local library and take part in the Summer Reading Challenge.

Working in partnership with Denbighshire Leisure we held 20 craft workshops in all of our libraries, with local artists Tara Dean, Lisa Carter, Elen Williams and Jess Balla.

Children got the opportunity to make clay stamps and do collage printing, decorate a paper hat and make a comic.

The Bookstart Team held fun outdoor sessions, with rhymes and walks in the park, Denbigh Library held drop in craft sessions and Rhyl Library ran some creative writing workshops.

We also had a fabulous visit from our favourite pantomime dame, with Mama G performing story times in St Asaph, Rhyl and Denbigh.

National Reading Group Day

It is National Reading Group Day on 12 September, a day to celebrate reading groups and book clubs across the UK.

We hold reading groups in many of our libraries, with some in English and some Welsh, if you would like to find out more please check out our webpages or ask at your local library. 

Joining a reading group is a great way to meet new people and research shows that 91% of people enjoy reading more because they are part of a group.
