Tomorrow we’ll be celebrating Roald Dahl Day in Newington Library!

In The BFG, dreams come from dream country and the BFG catches good dreams to blow into sleeping children’s bedrooms. We’ll be making dream catchers for our Friday craft so you can catch dreams like the BFG.

Come along to make your own and take a book from our Roald Dahl display while you’re here!
