Our #LancsReadingHeroes summer craft this week at #EuxtonLibrary was based around 'Build something strong that holds something up'. Attendees were given free rein and a variety of craft materials to build a strong and stable structure. They came up with so many amazing ideas!

Children at #FreckletonLibrary built a whole army of robots in their quest to become #LancsReadingHeroes this summer. We think they made amazing inventions from junk modelling materials.

Thank you to everyone who came along to #EuxtonLibrary to make musical instruments for the #LancsReadingHeroes challenge! It was a very busy event and the children really enjoyed making a range of musical instruments from recycled materials and experimenting with different sounds
