The Children’s Library has a fantastic selection of Christmas books to entertain and delight and, throughout December, there is a range of festive activities sure to bring about a chorus of ho- ho- hos! Children are invited to ‘Design a Snowman’, with all decorated snowmen being put on display in the library. Alternatively, they can try to find the ‘Impish Library Elf’, who has
hidden in the library with his festive friends. There is also the chance to design a Christmas tree decoration, which will be used to decorate a tree on display in the library. All children taking part will receive a prize.
