Today’s Advent Calendar window opens for Wellingborough Library who are hosting a variety of activities right up until Christmas! There’s always something happening at the Library and the staff were very keen to tell us all about it, so we videoed them for you.
On the video, Dee and Sophie tell us the exciting things they do, and all about their new Warm Safe Space for Wellingborough this winter, that is offering free tea, coffee and soup during their opening hours, for those looking for a warm place to stay during these tough times.
Children can join in too with a huge number of activities including, starting today, a World Cup football challenge that runs until Christmas Eve! They’ll provide some colouring and activity resources for children to complete in the library or take home with them. There’s a variety of designs to create a ‘design your own football kit’. The library will display the entries where there’s space and an overall winner will be announced in the New Year!
