Activities & programs

Reading becomes powerful when we do it together.

The library creates space for readers to meet books, ideas and one another. Sessions are organised around what the community can actually turn up for.

Read-aloud circle

Kids shelf readers and their caregivers

An older reader takes a picture book and the group sits close enough to see every page. Children retell the story back, which is where vocabulary and confidence come from.

Homework support

Junior shelf readers and exam-year students

Students bring the work they are stuck on and use the shelves for the reference and revision material their school notes do not cover, with help nearby.

Sorting and shelving day

Volunteers, partners and donors

Arriving donations are checked, covered and split into the Kids, Junior and Adult sections so the collection stays usable rather than just growing.

Holiday club

Primary pupils on school break

A term's gap filled with stories, reading games and writing sessions so the habit does not lapse while school is shut.

Dates to be confirmed each term

Run a reading group, a writers' session or a study circle and want it linked to the library? Say what you have in mind and we will work out a time. You can also follow our latest activities on our Facebook page.
