LEAF

I spent all day yesterday at Littleborough Library, providing the Library Service's contribution to the Local Environment Action Fortnight. This is something we like to get involved in each year as it's a subject close to my heart and it gives us another opportunity to present our libraries as learning and information venues for organisations working with children.

The event went really well. The workshops I presented gave the children the opportunity to do some environment/natural history-related craft activities (Big Wild Read leftovers with a few garnishes but popular with the children anyway).

I also made our Kids Portal available on the People's Network PCs and encouraged children to have a look at it and then let them look at some of the linked sites in our "Wild Stuff" list. The jigsaws in the Smithsonian's "Great Cats for Kids" page proved very popular.
