We've got lots of fun free things to do for families during the Summer holidays.

Join us on a guided Storytrail (Wed 12 August, 10.30am), make Summer crafts (Mondays), get stuck into the new Library Adventures pack, build Lego and borrow brilliant new books.

Don't forget that if you're a library member, you can download digital e-books, magazines, audio books and comics - ideal boredom-busters when you're on your travels!

We're off to see the Wizard... (when we finish this chapter.)

See if you can spot Slaithwaite Library's ‘Dorothy’ in the village on Sunday, as part of Ruddi's Slawit Scarecrow Fest.
And if you visit us on Saturday, you can borrow Wizard of Oz and Scarecrow stories.
There's no place like Slawit library. 👠

On Monday 30th March, join Slaithwaite Library for some free fact-finding fun with our All About Non-Fiction Storytrail. Pick up your trail sheet from the library and find the facts hidden around Spa Park - are they True or Poo? Test your knowledge, learn something new and share your discoveries with your friends. This is a free event, recommended for families with children up to age 8. The trail is outdoors so please dress appropriately for the weather.
