Many thanks to children’s author Caryl Hart, Author for two fantastic sessions at the library today. Twenty children and their parents got to hear her talk, sing and even do a jellyfish dance! They also made these lovely jellyfish decorations to take home afterwards. Thank you to Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council and Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust for supporting our library and enabling us to put on this event.
