Family fun at Liverpool libraries for half term and beyond
Tmesis Theatre performing Up and Away FROM fairy tale performances to puppetry, from cartoon sketching to storytelling, there is lots to keep the children occupied at Liverpool libraries during half term and beyond.
Liverpool City Council's Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Culture, Councillor Harry Doyle, said:-"Family activities in our libraries are a great way to keep kids brains ticking over during half-term and participatory arts projects can help young people develop self-confidence, empathy and social skills. However, it is also a good opportunity for parents to meet our team and find out what else is going on in their local library. We all know the vital role that libraries play in fostering a love of reading and improving literacy, but they are so much more than just places to borrow books. They also act as community hubs, often providing a lifeline to isolated parents by offering a space to meet others and share experiences. They also offer a warm, safe space to access computers, the internet and online training courses." Programmed by Liverpool City Council’s Culture Liverpool team and made possible thanks to UK Shared Prosperity Funding, the free drop-in activities will kick off in half-term but continue through to March (more details of which will be revealed soon).
