Library Adventures

Your quest is to journey through your Library Adventures pack with six fantastic themes to explore. The Adventurer pack is full of fun crafts, reading suggestions, facts, and creative activities. You can collect stickers, bookmarks, certificates and more throughout the year.

There are separate versions of the Library Adventures pack for older and younger children. Just pick the pack which best suits your Library Adventurer when you arrive at the library.

All you need to join the Library Adventures journey, is a Kirklees library card. A library card is free and can be obtained online or in person at any Kirklees Library. No ID required.

Walk to your Library

May is National Walking Month, and it provides the perfect opportunity to step into the great outdoors and embrace the joys of walking with the family. Walking isn’t just about getting from A to B – it’s a chance to connect with nature, improve your health, and enjoy some much-needed time away from screens. Whether you’re strolling through the countryside, pounding the pavement in our towns, or hiking up a hill, every step counts towards a healthier, happier family.

Why not start by walking to your local library together? Pick up a ‘Walk to the library’ Storywalk sheet, designed exclusively by illustrator Stephen Waterhouse to make your trip to the library even more fun! Storywalk sheets will be available in all our libraries during half-term, 24th – 31st May.
