With the summer holidays but a distant memory, here is our new schedule of activities at Balgreen Library. If you have any questions about the clubs or any desire to join, please give us a shout.

Today at Balgreen Library, we'll be doing summer crafts! This week's activity is making origami animals! Butterflies! Jumping frogs! Even boats!

All ages are welcome, though children will need to bring an adult to accompany them.

The summer crafts will be from 3pm to 4pm, we'll see you then!

Summer seems well and truly here, what a scorcher it's been today! Starting next week, here's our activities schedule for the summer holidays. All activities are free and no booking is necessary! We look forward to seeing you over the upcoming summer weeks!

The Summer Reading Challenge is here!!!

For children 4-11 (although younger/older kids are more than welcome to participate), the Summer Reading Challenge is completely free and runs all the way through the Summer holidays till the end of August.

How it works...
1. Sign up:
Visit your local library and ask to sign up – a librarian will give you a special collector folder when you start your Challenge.
2. Read books:
Set a reading goal and read anything you like from our library..
3. Earn rewards:
Each time you finish a book, visit the library. You will collect special stickers and rewards for reading books!
