Is there Room on the Broom for Blackhall Bookworms?

Dear Bookworms,

Tomorrow (Friday 18th October) from 3 until 4 we will be doing some witchcraft.
Even better … we will be having a witch craft session!

Join us for a reading session of Julia Donaldson’s classic “Room on the Broom” and a monstrous craft session after! Ages 4 – 11.

As usual sessions are free but please book in advance!

Ask a member of staff, call 0131 529 5595 or email blackhall.library@edinburgh.gov.uk
