CHILDREN in Bromsgrove will have no chance to get bored this summer thanks to a packed programme of activities at the town's library.

On Thursday, August 1 there will be a craft session on the theme of planets from 10am to 11am for five to seven-year-olds and from 11.30am to 12.30pm for eight to 12-year-olds.

And back by popular demand on Tuesday, August 6, is the animal man, Brian Patterson.

He will be bringing his animal friends along including snakes, spiders and birds. Sessions run from 2.30pm to 3.15pm for four to seven-year-olds and 3.30pm to 4.30pm for eight to 12-year-olds.

Harry Potter is still as popular as ever and with everyone eagerly anticipating the next instalment - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - there will be a special workshop on Tuesday, August 13 from 2pm to 3pm for seven to 12-year-olds, and a murder-mystery session on August 22.

Tickets for all these events are available from the information desk at the Stratford Road site.
