Hip hip Poohray - what a wonderful time we had here in Ballybane Library this morning where we were joined by over 40 children to celebrate 100 years of Winnie-the-Pooh. We read stories, sang songs, played pass the parcel, had a treasure hunt and had fun pinning the tail on Eyeore. The children did lots of colouring and made birthday cards for Pooh and had a jolly old time.
Happy Birthday you silly old bear! 🎂🎉🎈🎁

Halloween preparations are underway at the library, and we've been making some funky spiders! Our workshop was filled with a lively and creative group of children whose imaginations really shone through in the colourful designs they chose for their arachnids. Well done, everyone! 🕷️
