THE West Street library is running a StoryLab throughout the summer holidays to encourage children to keep reading during the summer break. The theme centres around a group of children inventing stories in the StoryLab. Youngsters taking part need to read 6 books, collect various stickers (bronze, silver and gold) and complete some activity challenges along the way to achieve a certificate and gold medal at the end. Last year’s summer reading scheme attracted 700 children.

On Thursday 16 August there will be a StoryLab activity between 10.30am and 11.30am for seven to 11-year-olds. Called In the Lab : Science at the Library it will be run by Professor Pete Free and will include lots of messy science activities.
