Cawson ni benwythnos hollol wych yn dathlu pen-blwydd 'Mam Londonderry' yn 200 oed, sef yr Arglwyddes Mary Cornelia Vane-Tempest. Ddydd Sadwrn fe wnaethon ni fwynhau cyfres ddiddorol o sgyrsiau yn y llyfrgell, taith gerdded hanesyddol dywys o amgylch Machynlleth a gemau cacen a lawnt wrth penddelw Mary Cornelia yn y Plas, ac yna gweithgareddau blodau yn yr Ardd Fictoraidd gyda Mach Maethlon a Gerddi Bro Ddyfi ddydd Sul.

Hoffem estyn diolch yn fawr i'n siaradwyr: Shelagh Hourahane, Dr Adam Coward, Alison McCann & Dr James January-McCann, ac i Mach Maethlon a Gerddi Bro Dyfi am eu gweithgareddau bendigedig.

Hefyd diolch yn fawr iawn i Dyfi Delights am roi cacennau gwirioneddol flasus! (gan gynnwys y gacen Battenburg orau [a mwyaf!] rydyn ni erioed wedi'i gweld).

Allwn ni ddim aros tan ddathliad pen-blwydd Mary Cornelia yn 300 oed!

We had an absolutely fantastic weekend celebrating the 200th birthday of 'Mother Londonderry', Lady Mary Cornelia Vane-Tempest. On Saturday we enjoyed a fascinating series of talks at the library, guided historical walk around Machynlleth and cake and lawn games by the bust of Mary Cornelia at y Plas, followed by flower activities at the Victorian Garden with Edible Mach & Gerddi Bro Ddyfi.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers: Shelagh Hourahane, Dr Adam Coward, Alison McCann & Dr. James January-McCann, and to Edible Mach and Gerddi Bro Dyfi for their wonderful activities.

Also massive gratitude to Dyfi Delights for donating some truly delicious cakes! (including the best and biggest! Battenburg cake we've ever seen).

We can't wait until Mary Cornelia's 300th birthday celebration! 😄

Powys Libraries are gearing up for an exciting summer as they launch recruitment for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge Volunteers. The annual challenge, developed by The Reading Agency, encourages thousands of children to discover the joy of reading during the school holidays.

This year’s theme, “Read to the Beat”, celebrates music, rhythm, and creativity -inviting children aged 4–11 to explore stories that inspire imagination and movement.

Libraries across Powys are offering young people aged 14–25 the opportunity to get involved. Volunteers will play a key role in supporting children and families as they sign up, choose books, and take part in fun activities throughout the summer.

No previous experience is needed, and full support and guidance will be provided. Volunteers aged 16–25 will receive a free Enhanced DBS check arranged by the council.

Mae Llyfrgelloedd Powys yn paratoi ar gyfer haf cyffrous wrth iddynt lansio ymgyrch recriwtio ar gyfer Gwirfoddolwyr Sialens Ddarllen yr Haf eleni. Mae'r sialens flynyddol, a ddatblygwyd gan yr Asiantaeth Ddarllen, yn annog miloedd o blant i ddarganfod llawenydd darllen yn ystod gwyliau'r ysgol.

Mae'r thema eleni, ""Cyfrolau’n Canu, yn dathlu cerddoriaeth, rhythm a chreadigrwydd—gan wahodd plant 4–11 oed i archwilio straeon sy'n ysbrydoli dychymyg a symudiad.

Mae llyfrgelloedd ledled Powys yn cynnig cyfle i bobl ifanc rhwng 14 a 25 oed i gymryd rhan. Bydd gwirfoddolwyr yn chwarae rôl allweddol yn cefnogi plant a theuluoedd wrth iddynt gofrestru, dewis llyfrau, a chymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau hwyliog trwy gydol yr haf.

Nid oes angen unrhyw brofiad blaenorol, a darperir cefnogaeth ac arweiniad llawn. Bydd gwirfoddolwyr rhwng 16 a 25 oed yn derbyn gwiriad DBS manwl am ddim a drefnir gan y cyngor.
