Make a gift at the library this festive season!
Every Tuesday and Thursday in December between 4-7 pm, come along to our festive crafts station on the 1st floor of the Central Library and get creative!
Make your own hand-made gift card, a special book mark, or perhaps a little decoration for your tree! Have something you’ve always wanted to make into something? Bring your own materials or make use of what’s available on our crafty supplies trolley! There will be local crafting experts on hand and a tonne of ideas and craft books ready to help you get inspired!
Drop by for 5 Minutes, half an hour, or hang out for the full 3 hours! Have fun to your own schedule at our festive crafts station and and give a gift of creativity this year!
These sessions will be held on the 1st floor of the Central Library by the enquiries desk from 4-7 pm on Tuesdays & Thursdays with the last session being held on December 20th.

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
