After this morning's session we've been left with a very cute and clearly loved Stitch toy! If this is yours please drop us an email at [email protected] or pop into the library during opening hours and we will reunite you.

We're having fun with moving pictures this morning! Make a stick spinner (like the one in the video) or a thaumatrope in our Family Craft from 9.30am-12.30pm. Or join in our Lego Club and build something wonderful!

The library is open every Saturday from 9am-1pm and all activities are free thanks to the generosity of the Friends of Long Melford Library.

We're excited for the The Wildlife Trusts' 30 Days Wild, so we decided to get you started a little early with today's Family Craft and Lego Club. Come along this morning from 9.30am-12.30pm to make a 'Nature Journal' to record some of your wild adventures. If getting creative with blocks is more your thing, have a go at inventing a machine that takes inspiration from nature - a helicopter that flies like a dragonfly, a submarine that sinks and floats like a whale, a vehicle that slides like a snake!

The library is open every Saturday from 9am-1pm with free family activities running from 9.30am-12.30pm.

And if you're inspired to take part in 30 Days Wild, we'd love to encourage you! The challenge invites you to do something 'wild' every day or a few days a week during the month of June and starts on Monday 1 June. It is free to take part. You can download a free pack or have one sent in the post by visiting the Wildlife Trusts' website: www.wildlifetrusts.org/30dayswild

The library is (relatively!) cool this morning thanks to our high ceilings! We have our bee-themed family craft and Lego from Saturday all morning so if you want to escape the heat with a free indoor activity, please do come and see us.

The library is open 10am-1pm, then 2pm-5pm every Tuesday with our Wordplay session for babies and toddlers running from 2.30pm-3pm as usual.

We're celebrating bees this week! Come along to the library this morning from 9.30am-12.30pm to make a cute pipe cleaner bee or take up our Lego challenge and create a bee or insect from blocks. All activities are free thanks to the support of the Friends of Long Melford Library and the library is open from 9am-1pm for all our usual services.
