Free family fun in the libraries this half term!

Head to Knowsley’s libraries this May half term for free, fun activities for the kids.

Children can get creative with crafts and clay, and little ones can enjoy stories and songs —perfect for keeping them entertained whatever the weather.

From pirates and butterflies to junk modelling, there’s something for every young imagination.
