We're joining in with CATERed's Big Summer Food tour again this year. Every Wednesday in August children can pick up a free lunch and join in with family friendly activities. Lunches will be given away to children at all Plymouth Libraries and a Pop Up Library at Four Greens in Whitleigh. Free activities will include the Summer Reading Challenge, crafts, stories, theatre workshops, zine making and more. Activities vary so make sure you check our website for details of what's happening at your library. Also on our website, you will find a social story for each library. These are designed to help children with autism understand what to expect and why when taking part in Lunch at the Library.
