Youngsters can build space rockets and read stories by torchlight at Wiltshire libraries next week.

Wiltshire County Council has organised a range of events offering fun and excitement for everyone over the half-term break.

They include arts and craft sessions, space parties, bedtime stories with hot chocolate, Valentine message writing and singing. And, on February 14, Wootton Bassett library will be participating in a national promotion called blind date with a book

The idea is for people to have a chat with a librarian, tell them what their interests are, and they will then match them with their ideal book. All the activities are free although it may be necessary to book places for some events.
