Family Fun Story Time Session

A special half-term story time session will take place at Rochdale Central Library on Tuesday, February 18, based around the theme of families.

Join town centre chaplain Reverend Margaret Smith and children’s librarian Ray Stearn, at Number One Riverside from 10.30am to Noon, for a free story time and craft activity, most suitable for primary age children.

No booking is required, just turn up on the day.

Councillor Peter Williams, Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Customer Services, said: “It doesn’t matter if the weather outside is dreadful this half term, our story time session will be a great, fun and free activity for youngsters, which will also show them that Rochdale Borough Libraries offer so much more than just books on shelves.”
