Get creative with Devon Libraries

Libraries across Devon are encouraging residents to ‘think differently’ this month as part of a project to inspire creativity.

A series of events and activities associated with experiment, discovery, play, learning and reflection will be held throughout June aimed getting people to try something new.

Designed for those of all ages, they include activities such as learning to use a smart phone, creating treasures at a free play table, cake decorating, knitting and discovering how e-book readers work.

Councillor Roger Croad, Devon County Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities, said: “Our libraries have always been places where people can discover new ideas and this is an opportunity to reinvigorate that purpose.

“Learning something new can be really satisfying and a great confidence booster. Even if it’s just for fun, it is important that we take time to experience new things and our libraries are full of resources to help you do just that, so come along and get stuck in!”

For more information please contact your local library or log on to www.devon.gov.uk/libraries
