Half term fun in libraries

A week of free, hands-on crafts and fun for all ages: 27–31 October
This October half-term, Islington’s libraries are celebrating Black History Month with a week of free, hands-on craft fun for all ages. Get creative with Unity Wreath murals, mixed-media silhouettes, zine-making, African-inspired jewellery and headdresses, and even a Rosa Parks milk carton bus! Highlights also include storytelling with award-winning author Ifeoma Onyefulu. With drop-in sessions across libraries from 27–31 October, it’s the perfect chance to explore Black heritage through art and imagination.
