How Torfaen Libraries do Summer...
The first thing I would like to say is that I am loving this sunny, warm weather. When I drive to the library in the morning it feels like I am in another part of the world. (not that I would want to be anywhere else. Honest!)
At the library we are keen to help you with anything Summer might bring. For example what are you going to do to occupy the kids for 6 weeks? The library has a lot to offer:
- SPOOKY HOUSE Summer Reading Challenge starts Sat 13th July. Come along to the library and enrol any time in the first couple of weeks. There are freebies and fun things to do all the way through plus one lucky winner from Torfaen will take home a brand new bike and cycle helmet. Fantastic!
Summer Reading Challenge information here...
- KIDS TAKE OVER THE LIBRARY event Mon 22 July 11.00-3.00. Face painting, balloon modelling, circus skills and much more...
- STORY & CRAFT SESSIONS for 5 - 11 year olds:
Pontypool Every Tuesday 2.30pm
Cwmbran Every Tuesday and Thursday 10.30am
- RHYMETIME for babies and toddlers
Pontypool Every Wednesday 2.15pm
Cwmbran Every Friday 10.00am
...and what about for the grown-ups?
If you are not already a member of the library and you join before 8th August, you could win 2 tickets for a day at the WELSH OPEN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP at the Celtic Manor Resort which runs from 29th to 31st August. 'What if I am already a member?' I hear you cry. Then why not get a friend to join and make them promise to give you the second ticket. Easy.
