Be Happy! Be Inspired!

We have brought happiness to the library in the shape of The Illustrators exhibition. This is an exhibition of pure joy and brilliant talent. If you're feeling glum or want to be creatively inspired come to the Family Library to see this lovely show of original artwork.

There are 16 different artists who have 16 different approaches to creating images and it's fascinating to see the detail and imaginations at work throughout the 49 pieces of artwork.

As part of the event we have craft sessions on Saturday mornings and illustration workshops on Saturday afternoons, as well as special storytime sessions on Saturday mornings too.

Come along - you wont be disappointed!
