Many of the libraries around the county also have Lego sets ready for children to come along and play with.

Cllr Emrys Wynne, lead member for Welsh language, culture and heritage, said: “Your local library is a brilliant place to visit this half-term.

“As well as the wide selection of books, there are free events happening throughout the week so that families can come along and enjoy themselves.

“Our libraries also offer a full range of digital services including access to eBooks, audiobooks, e-magazines and newspapers online.

“I would urge people who have an interest to go and discover what their library has in store for them during this upcoming half term break.”
