With the summer school holidays here, now is the time to put in the diary the range of fun and educational activities on offer at Liverpool’s libraries, which include the chance to get up close with Australian animals, experiment with liquid nitrogen and learn how to write poetry.
“It can be hard to keep the kids busy and entertained in January after the excitement of the festive season, which is why Liverpool’s libraries are offering a range of fantastic activities,” says Liverpool City Mayor Ned Mannoun.
“Make sure you book your kids a place at one or more of these activities before the end of the year.”
