Children and young people are enjoying a packed programme of hundreds of super summer activities, with much more still to come throughout the rest of the school holidays.
Library staff and volunteers, friends groups and partners are putting on a wide range of activities, from crafts, games and colouring to puppets, jewellery making and science sessions.
There are activities led by professional entertainers supported by the Federation of Friends of Sandwell Libraries. From storytellers, jugglers and musicians to magic, theatre experiences and design your own comic book cover sessions, there are activities for everyone to enjoy.
And don’t forget the Summer Reading Challenge – children aged four to 11 can hunt for treasure in Beanotown and become ‘Mischief Makers’ as they read six books during the school holiday.
Sandwell Council's cabinet member for children’s services Councillor Simon Hackett said: “It is wonderful that children are being encouraged to go into our libraries to enjoy lots of events and hopefully start to enjoy the many services available.
“There's a huge range of events for children and young to get involved in activities where they can learn and have fun.
“I would urge parents and carers to check out the long list of events, there is something for everyone.”
