The Summer Reading Challenge has now finished!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to be a part of this with us. It was amazing for us to see all these children excited about what they had read and what they were going to be reading!

Thanks also to all the people who came to the events we ran throughout the holidays. We really appreciate your support and we hope you all had an amazing time!

You're invited to our Connect & Create sessions at Hucknall and Retford Libraries! 🎨✨

Designed specifically for older adults, plus friends, family or carers, Connect & Create is about the joy of making art in a relaxed, sociable setting. You don’t need to have any kind of preexisting artistic ability, just an open mind and the willingness to get stuck in 🖌️

Our professional artists will make sure every session is fun and varied, exploring different themes and techniques over a cuppa and a biscuit 🫖🍪

Does this sound like your cup of tea? Or would a loved one enjoy taking part together?
