The planetarium returns to Bedford Central Library!

Saturday 9th March

Bedpop Science Lab is coming back to Bedford Central Library on Saturday 9^th March, part of a programme of events taking place at venues across Bedford. We are so excited that Mark Rutherford School will be bringing their planetarium back to the library following its successful visit last year.

Shows including the premiere of a film about the Moon Landings will last for 30 mins. Places must be booked in advance via the Bedpop Science Lab website.

Love code?

Help us start a Code Club!

Can't get enough of Scratch, Python, or Raspberry Pi? Interested in sharing your love of coding with children?

If the answer is yes then you might like to help us to run a Code Club for children aged 8-12 years at Bedford Central Library and Kempston Library!

We are looking for volunteers who are available to help run Code Clubs for an hour a week at the weekends or after school. Check out the Role Profile for Code Club Volunteer and register at the Code Club website.
