What’s on for kids and families

From brick-tastic robots and dog-themed craft activities to larger-than-life stories, we have a playground of great events coming up for families to enjoy.

Later this month for Children’s Book Week, author Corinne Fenton reads her shortlisted book, Lionel and Me, a delightful tale inspired by dogs and friendship.

Kids can stretch their creative and imaginative muscles at LEGO® Robotics, where mini robots inspired by the Library’s collection will spring to life.

Take a break from the everyday and jump into our Baby Bounce, Toddler Tales and Storytime events, happening on Monday and Wednesday each week.
