Oh, and if you're looking for a wonderful Christmas craft then check out the Activity Village. You'll find cute ideas for the kids, such as snow globes, wooden spoon angels and a recipe for gingerbread house cookies. Here's the link: http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/christmas_crafts.htm.

Please remember that the library will be closed on the 24th and 25th of December. Have a wonderful Christmas!
