BUILDING space rockets, stories by torchlight and music are among the events on offer in west and north Wiltshire libraries during the half-term break.

Wiltshire County Council has organised arts and craft sessions, space parties, bedtime stories and Valentine message writing sessions.

All the activities are free, but events will be popular so people are advised to book in advance.

Warminster, Melksham, and Chippenham libraries will also participate in the national campaign, Blind Date with a Book, on Monday.

Bookworms can chat with a librarian, tell them what their interests are, and will be matched with their ideal book.

Joan Davis, head of customer services in libraries, said: "Libraries are a key part of the community and we hope by providing entertaining activities such as these we will be making sure they meet the needs of local people."

For details on sessions, contact the library holding the event or Joan Davis on (01225) 757518.
