Join us over May half term as we celebrate all things Elmer!
With a full week of Elmer themed craft activities (from 25th May to 30th May), followed by some free style crafts the week following (1st June - 6th June) - don't ignore the elephant in the room and drop by your local library for some fun! 🐘
The lift at Hale Library is currently out of order. This has been reported and it'll hopefully be working again soon. This week's storytime session will take place downstairs to prevent people with buggies needing to use the stairs. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
We wanted to spotlight Nishan's fabulous catapult made at our Saturday LEGO Club!! Usually we wouldn't approve of catapulting LEGO bricks around the library - but seeing this model we had to make an exception! We’d love for you to join us at any of our Trafford Libraries for LEGO club every Saturday. - Please check online for times.

Today on VE Day, we pause to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom during World War II. Their bravery shaped the world we live in. As we reflect, let’s ensure their legacy lives on by cherishing our freedoms and working together for a more peaceful, just future. #VEDay #TraffordLibraries #RememberAndReflect
