Throughout East Sussex young people have visited the library and participated in 3D Printing and coding workshops, Monster Meltdowns, sing-along carnivals and disappeared into their own virtual worlds! If you haven’t collected your prizes yet there is still time, just pop in to your local library.
If you wanted your child to receive their certificate in school, then log in to their library account and fill in the details.

 Libraries Week takes place in October and is an annual showcase and celebration of the best that the nation’s much-loved libraries have to offer, and the central role they play in supporting life-long learning.
To celebrate we have the fabulous Mama G panto dame, telling stories to children and families about being who you want, and loving who you are.

 Period Poverty affects 1 in 7 girls and women in the UK with many missing work and school because they cannot afford period products. Eastbourne, Hastings, Hailsham and Newhaven libraries are offering free, donated period products to anyone who needs them.
We need your help to tackle period poverty, and are asking for donations of tampons, pads, and reusable period products at all our libraries. We hope to roll this service out to more of our libraries over the next 12 months subject to donations.
This month our quote is from J K Rowling's The Deathly Hallows.
