This summer, libraries across Denbighshire are encouraging children to fire up their imaginations through the power of reading and creative expression.
Working in partnership with Denbighshire Leisure Community Arts, libraries county-wide will be running craft workshops for the readers taking part in the Summer Reading Challenge.
The Summer Reading Challenge aims to prevent the "summer dip" learning loss many children experience over the holidays when they aren't in school.
With libraries' support, it provides a free, fun way to keep young minds active. In 2023, over 685,000 children across the UK participated.
The theme of this year’s challenge is 'Marvellous Makers', and Denbighshire’s Libraries are being joined by brilliant local artists for the summer, including, Tara Dean, Jess Balla, Lisa Carter and Elen Williams.
These creative activities will include printmaking with air dry clay, decorating paper hats, collage printing and creating a comic.
Sessions are free but spaces are limited, so please contact your local library to book a place.
These sessions are arranged in partnership with DLL Active Communities, and are funded by UK Government.
* The Marvellous Makers Craft Workshop with Tara Dean will be held at Llangollen Library on Wednesday 7th August, 2-4pm.
