Celebrate favourite children’s stories this half term

Plymouth libraries will be hosting free story and craft sessions for five to 11-year-olds this half term holiday, celebrating classic children’s books.

Staff will share stories including the tale of Pinocchio and his growing nose, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Alice in Wonderland and Jack’s adventures up the beanstalk.

There’s a chance to go along to a fancy dress Mad Hatter’s tea party, grow beanstalks, decorate gingerbread men or create hungry caterpillars to take home.
