From December 17 to 31, families are invited to visit Bedford Borough Libraries for free fun craft activities and story-times. Bedford Central, Bromham, Kempston, Putnoe, and Wootton libraries all have events and activities planned. Crafts include; creating paper party hats, New Year calendars and Christmas cards. There will also be colouring, board games, Lego clubs, and story-times.
Councillor Doug McMurdo, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture, said, “It’s fantastic that children from across Bedford Borough have the opportunity to visit our libraries and engage in such a wide range of free creative activities over the holidays.”
“I recommend the Christmas story-times to everyone with young children over the holidays!”
All children are welcome, even if they are not yet library members, and all activities are free. Parents and carers must be with children under 14. It is free for all ages to join Bedford Borough Libraries. Children can join in libraries during staffed hours or anytime online. A parent or guardian will need to complete a form.
Once joined, members can choose from a fantastic range of physical books and magazines for all ages. Members can also access thousands of digital e-books, audiobooks and magazines, at no charge.
Bedford Borough Libraries are safe, warm spaces that are open to everyone this Christmas during staffed hours. It is free to upgrade to a LibraryPlus membership and access the libraries during self-service hours. This allows people to borrow and return books, use the computers and Wi-Fi, or simply sit and read.
