Radstock Library - so much more than books Wednesday
afternoons in the Library are noisy - its Lego time – and Radstock Library is filled with youngsters at our new drop in Lego Club. Talking, playing, learning and sharing, they spend the time between 3.30 and 5pm creating their own models or working as a team to solve simple challenges. Thanks to funding support from Little Lost Robot, a small healthy snack is provided. We do ask that parents and guardians stay, but you can sit in the Library area, read a book or use our Wi-Fi and computers for free. The Little Lost Robot Lego Club runs Wednesday afternoons from 3.30 - 5pm term time only. Wednesdays are busy in the morning too – our M/ Other group for parents of pre-school aged children meets term time only between 9.30am and 12 noon. It’s a free drop-in session with creative crafts and activities for small people run by a DBS checked trained childcare team. Adults are welcome to use the Library’s Wi-Fi, computers and printer or they can browse the books, get creative, draw, or simply dream.
We also have over 3,000 books on our shelves for you to borrow, (stories, novels, real life tales, cookery books, world and local history, Ukrainian/English) and access to 2.5 million more if you need them – all free of charge.
Our Knitting and Natter Group meets on the first Tuesday of every month 10 - 11.30am - their creations are warm, woolly and wonderful - come along and join in, or pop in to see their creations.
Little Lost Robot CIC is a not-for-profit collective of social practice artists funded by the Arts Council, Bath Spa University, Creativity Works, B&NES and the West of England CA.
Everyone is welcome any time we are open – we have a dedicated children’s area where mums, dads and carers can sit and rest while the children browse the books, play with activity toys, and sensory toys. Keep your eye on our Facebook page for details of craft sessions and competitions for various age groups on for Easter and during Summer Holidays.
