Family Reading Fortnight starts next week (8-20 January) and to mark the event, Copeland libraries are laying on a host of fun-packed events.
Whether its attending special rhyme-time sessions or creating a Christmas memento there's plenty on offer for mums, dads and carers looking to entertain their children.
On Tuesday 9 January, families with pre-school children can enjoy a special half-hour rhyme-time session at Cleator Moor Library which starts at 10:30am.
On Thursday 11 January, families with children aged four and over will get the chance to create a special Christmas memento at Millom Library. Children are asked to bring wrapping paper, cards and any seasonal photos to the scrap-booking session, which runs from 4:00pm to 5:00pm, where they will get the chance to create a festive collage.
On Sunday 14 January, the Daniel Hay Library will be scaring the birds with an hour of scarecrow related fun which gets underway at 2:30am.
There's another hour of scrap-booking at the Daniel Hay Library on Tuesday 16 January starting from 3:45pm.
Egremont Library joins the fun on Thursday 18 January from 10:30am to 11:00am when staff will be entertaining pre-school children and their families with a rhyme-time session.
The fortnight of family reading events ends in the Daniel Hay Library on Sunday 21 January with an hour of outer space activities from 2:30pm.
Children at each must be accompanied by an adult family member or carer.
