Head down to your local library on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 October to see what fun you can have investigating science and the arts.

All of Bury's libraries which are open this weekend will be hosting 'Fun Palace' events, and all of them are free.

The libraries will be screening a virtual craft session with Professor Jigget, so why not drop into your local branch and join in?

Saturday 1 October

All libraries (am and pm) - join our virtual craft session with Professor Jigget.
Prestwich Library (10am to 12.30pm) - jungle themed story time and face painting.

Prestwich and Moorside libraries (10am-1pm) - another chance to join virtual craft session with Professor Jigget.
Prestwich Library (11am) - drop in to work with the mad scientist Professor Jigget himself at Prestwich library. “Via an instructional film event, participants will be given the opportunity to dispel the barrier between our world and the world of magic in order for them to find documents and items that explore the links between common trees and plants and their faerie counterparts. It is a chance to learn about ecology and plant identification through the lens of storytelling and imagination.”
