And there's more...

Stuck for a costume for your child on World Book Day? Then Gainsborough Library is here to help again!

Following the success of our Costume Swap Rail last year, we're bringing it back from 12th February to 5th March during normal library opening hours. Just bring along gently used past costumes to donate and swap for something ‘new to you’ for your child to wear this year.

We'll also have our 'Emergency Pack' available if you're up against it as the big day approaches. The packs include simple and quick last-minute costume ideas that will transform your child’s everyday clothes into a character from a book. The Emergency Pack also includes recommended reads, chosen especially by library staff, to help you and your child find stories that truly capture their imagination and grow their love of reading.

Fabiola Nosenzo, library manager at Gainsborough Library said " We've a packed half term planned so make sure to come along and join in the fun"
