We also have an outside music themed treasure hunt in our garden (ask staff for a hunt sheet) and a Read to the Beat characters hunt in the library. Collect stickers if you find all the characters and instruments.

Our Toddler Story Time today (Thursday 25th) has also been cancelled - apologies if you were planning to come along! Maybe treat your toddler to an ice lolly instead? Or a cooling slice of watermelon - the Hungry Caterpillar would approve! 🍉🐛

If you can bear to leave the house today, your friendly neighbourhood library is open as usual - here for all your beach reading needs! 🌞🏖️

Highlights this week include the LAST session of Junior Chess Club before a summer break (it'll be back on 12 September); and the FIRST session of our Tech Buddy in residence. Plus Book Group with Linda, Wriggle & Rhyme with Jane, and free tap water available for all (don't say we don't treat you 😉)

However you're keeping cool, we hope you have a great week!🍦
