Parents! Now’s the last chance to make sure children receive their Summer Reading Challenge medal and certificate, as the Challenge ends tomorrow (Saturday 12/09).

Finish up that last book of six to complete the Challenge, and head down to the library to pick up your final rewards – a little something that offers a real sense of achievement! We look forward to seeing you.

And a big ‘well done’ to EVERYONE who’s completed the Challenge this year! 😎🤩🏅

Isn’t this lovely! Great to see the marvellous Margaret (pictured left) at St Mellons Hub, bringing along fun rhymes and songs for little ones and parents (as ever!). 🙂

For any new mums and dads, please ask about Rhyme Time at your local library, as well as how to get your free Bookstart pack.

Thanks BookTrust Cymru for coming along!

Here at Cardiff Hubs and Libraries we've been extremely fortunate to recently start the first BeyondWords Book Club in Wales. This book club uses colourful wordless books that allow everyone to join in, creating their own stories from the pictures they see.

It’s warm, relaxed, and full of those small moments where you can see confidence growing and connections being made. It’s great to see everyone feeling included and to help create an accessible space for all.

Thank you to the kind people at Cardiff People First for having us, and as usual we'll see you back there on the first Tuesday of the month.
