What’s on at Blackburn Library!

Blackburn Library and Darwen Library Festive Opening Hours

  • Saturday 23rd December – the library will close at 2pm, and will reopen at 10 am on Wednesday 27th December.

  • Closed all day on Monday 1st January.

 

Spinning Toy Workshop

School holidays are nearly here, which means it’s time for us to get crafty in the libraries once again.  Children age 5 and over can make a spinning toy out of simple strips of paper and a wooden skewer.  It twirls as it spins and creates all sorts of amazing patterns.  It’s fun to make, and even more fun to play with!  Free tickets for activities will be available from the relevant library up to 2 weeks before each event.

Thursday 4th Jan, 10am – 12pm, Blackburn Central Library

 

Bookmark stitching

But we aren’t forgetting about the adults this time – we’ve got something for them too.  Hand stitch a beautiful bookmark using a prick and stitch paper embroidery technique.  Pierce through card following a template, then pass a threaded embroidery needle through the holes to form a flower design (see below).  Again, tickets for these will be available from the relevant library up to two weeks in advance.

Monday 11th December, 5 – 7 pm, Blackburn Library
