Knights and dragons do battle at Coalville Library
As St Georges Day approaches, Coalville Library is inviting younger readers to take part in the Knights Challenge and the Dragon Quest.
From Saturday 16th April until mid-May children can support either the Red Knight or the Yellow Knight in a joust, and the more they read they further their knight will go in completing his challenge.
And on Wednesday 20th April, young squires and maidens can take on the Dragon Quest between 10.30am and 12 noon, with craft sessions and stories about these mythical beasts. Both Dragon Quest and the Knights Quest are free to take part in.
There will also be a host of Easter antics for library users of all ages to enjoy in North West Leicestershire.
At Castle Donington Library and at Kegworth Library until Monday the 18th of April, young children who visit can design their own Easter egg for free, while children over seven-years-old can design an Easter card.
There will also be special Easter Wriggly Reader sessions at Ashby Library on Friday 15th April between 10am and 10.30am, at Ibstock Library on Thursday 21st April between 10am and 10.30am, and at Coalville Library on Thursday 21st April between 10.30am and 11am.
April 21st is also the final date for library members to enter the Shepshed Library group raffle. Simply borrow 6 books from Shepshed, Kegworth or Castle Donington Libraries until this date to get a free raffle ticket, with the winner being announced on the 21st as well.
