Libraries across Wales will be coming alive this October and showing how they can play a key role in our wellbeing. Across the country, libraries will be hosting guest authors and illustrators, group reading sessions, educational and literacy activities, musical events and much more to entice you during Libraries Week (8-13 October).

Libraries Week is the annual showcase of all the creative, innovative and diverse activities that libraries have to offer and this year, with a focus on wellbeing, they will showcase how they bring communities together, combat loneliness, provide a space for reading and creativity and support people with their mental health.

 

 

Award winning support

With so much going on, the week this year will be launched at Newtown Library by award winning author Hayley Long where she will hold a workshop with a group of local schoolchildren. In addition to winning the Welsh Books Council’s Tir na n-Og Book award for her book, The Nearest Far Away Place, it has also been longlisted for the Brilliant Book Award 2019, and Hayley very much welcomes the focus of this year’s Libraries Week,

“Our libraries are a much under appreciated resource for today’s society as they provide valuable support to so many people. In my books I have tried to address the issues young people face in our modern world and how they deal with the issues and pressures that come in their wake. With Libraries Week focusing on wellbeing there is a recognition of the need to offer support, friendship, empathy and opportunities to allow for creativity to flourish in different ways. I feel privileged to play a part in the week itself and would encourage anyone to take the time to visit their local library and see what they have to offer – you may be pleasantly surprised.” 

Welsh public libraries have seen a huge increase in their services and in addition to loaning books you can also download e-magazines and audio and more and more of them are offering spaces for people to come together to talk and chat, having identified social isolation as an issue within society.

Welsh Government Culture Minister Lord Elis-Thomas said,

“While Libraries Week is a great chance to discover the range of things you can do at your library, from play and learning for children, to managing your health, to accessing free wifi and games, to finding a job, the focus this year on wellbeing allows us to consider the wider role libraries can play to strengthen our communities. Many libraries are at the centre of people’s lives and they have the potential to transform those lives by allowing a space for experiences to be shared and for promoting learning opportunities. 

“I’ve had great opportunities to see the excellent work that has been done in many libraries throughout Wales with help from the Welsh Government’s transformation fund, where libraries have had the necessary investment to reinvent themselves and to make themselves relevant to people’s busy lives.”

Among other activities taking place this week will be musical gigs, a poetry and illustration day with Wales’s Bardd Plant Cymru (Welsh-language children’s poet of Wales), Casia William and illustrator Valeriane LeBlond and bespoke awareness sessions with dementia and similar support groups at libraries across the country.

 

Dyfan Dwyfor at Porthmadog Library for Libraries Week

 

Kathryn Parry is Development Manager for CILIP Cymru Wales, the library and information association and believes Libraries Week is important as it highlights the ongoing vital work of libraries,  

“Working for CILIP is a pleasure throughout the year as I am able to see the breadth of professions supported by librarians and library workers. The aspiration this year of concentrating on wellbeing is a perfect fit as it reflects the variety of services offered.  Our library staff support students in schools, colleges and universities,  while at the same time linking doctors and health professionals with those working in government to research and provide guidance when it comes to academic writing and policy creation. This week is about celebrating the profession as a whole while remembering that these services are delivered all year round and long may it continue to do so.”  

 

Libraries Week is a great opportunity to showcase each individual library throughout Wales and with over 250 libraries across the country in many different shapes and forms, large and small, on wheels or within four walls, there is much to discover.

A competition for children aged 12 and under will be taking place in libraries across Wales with some fantastic WRU prizes up for grabs!

The competition aims to encourage children to discover what they can find in their local library and will take place in libraries across Wales between the 7th February and the 19th March 2016 to coincide with the RBS 6 Nations Championship.

Children will have to discover where Scorch, the WRU mascot, is hiding in their local library and fill in a short form to enter the competition. There are some fantastic prizes up for grabs including Wales Rugby Union shirts, WRU wallets, pin badges and activity packs.

Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism, Ken Skates said: This is a creative idea offering young people across Wales the chance to embrace this years Six Nations tournament while also making the most of their local library facilities. 2016 marks the Year of Adventure in Wales so I would definitely encourage everyone to get involved with this adventure competition. While searching for Scorch why not also use this opportunity to discover your next favourite book or author.

Why not sign up for a year of Reading Daringly with north Wales libraries.

Each month two of the twenty four specially chosen books, one English language and one Welsh language, will be revealed creating a calendar of captivating reads.

Librarians from across North Wales will choose books that challenge you to read something different.  Whatever your reading tastes there is something here to entertain, challenge and enrich your reading experience  a real adventure in your armchair!

Additionally readers are encouraged to share their experiences and opinions of the books online via Facebook and Twitter or via the eye-catching postcards available from libraries.

The reading challenge has been devised by Estyn Allan a partnership of libraries in North Wales which aims to offer new opportunities for readers to take an active role in their own development and to share reading experiences with others; to develop imaginative projects which increase people’s enjoyment of reading and take the pleasure of reading to new audiences and to promote contemporary writing in Welsh and English.

Bethan Hughes, from the Estyn Allan y Gogledd libraries partnership commented: The idea is that a Year of Reading Daringly would run almost like a reading group without the need to actually attend. People often get stuck in a reading rut reading the same authors or genres and we are encouraging people to challenge themselves and try something new in 2016.

And as 2016 has been designated as the Year of Adventure in Wales this is a chance for people to sign up for lots of new adventures.

For more information visit the Year of Reading Daringly Facebook and Twitter page or pop in to your local library.

A scheme which sees libraries join forces with their local primary school to make every child a library member is today rolled out to every local authority in Wales.

The Every Child A Library Member initiative aims to improve the reading literacy and communication skills of children across Wales by introducing them to the wealth of material available at the local library  from a range of books, comics, audio-books, computers and magazines – and encourage reading for pleasure.

Initially introduced in six local authorities in March 2014, the scheme provides children aged 8-9 with a free library card and is today rolled out to across Wales.

Research shows that reading for pleasure is critical to later success. Early studies into the effects of the initiative so far found that 94 per cent of children like reading more now that they are using the library, while all the parents surveyed felt their child had benefited from using the library.

To celebrate the landmark all-Wales roll out of the initiative pupils from Hendre Junior School will today [3 December] be joined by authors Mike Church and Mark Brake at a special event in Caerphilly Library.

Welcoming the announcement, the Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism, Ken Skates said:

 

The link up between schools and libraries is a great way to introduce children to libraries and allow them to discover the wealth of material on offer, particularly for those who may not otherwise have had the opportunity.

Libraries have all the equipment a child needs to develop their reading, communication and digital skills in a fun and encouraging environment. Here they can make their own choices, discover their own preferences  whether this is a particular genre or author – and importantly be inspired to enjoy reading.

Research conducted by the National Literacy Trust for Save the Children found that when children, particularly the poorest, fall behind in reading by age 11 the impact can last for the rest of their lives, affecting health and employment benefits.

Further studies have found that children who read from a young age are more likely to succeed in their education and career compared to those who rarely read.

Since the Every Child A Library Member scheme began over 625 schools have signed up, with at least 235 of these in Communities First areas. Over 12,700 children were issued with a new library card in 2014-15, resulting in 28,938 books being issued to children with the new cards over just a three month period. With all 22 local authorities now in the scheme over 33,500 pupils in year 4 will be targeted in 2015-16.

The Deputy Minister added:

 

I am delighted the scheme has been so well-received and that we are reaching out to children in some of Wales most deprived areas. Our Fusion: Tackling Poverty through Culture programme aims to get more people in these areas engaging with culture as a way to boost skills, confidence and aspiration. Libraries are supporting this aim, and I am pleased that so far 50 libraries in Communities First areas are taking part by linking with their local school.

 

Through the scheme children are automatically registered with their own library card, without needing a parent or guardians signature of approval. The scheme supports the Welsh Governments Education Begins at Home and Make Time to Read campaigns. .

A group of young volunteers who helped encourage children take part in this years summer reading challenge have been rewarded for their efforts.

27 high school pupils from across Powys become Reading Activists and helped children aged four to 12 to choose books, listen to them read and even reading to the children who took part in Record Breakers – the 2015 Summer Reading Challenge.

The volunteers collectively worked a total of 139 hours across seven libraries and actively promoted this years reading challenge over the summer and also organised the award ceremony for the children that completed the challenge. They are now receiving certificates from the councils Library Service for their efforts.

This year, libraries in the county had a record number of children take up the summer reading challenge.  The Library Service also broke its own record for children completing this years challenge compared with last year.

Cllr Graham Brown, Cabinet Member for Library Services, said: Most young people at high school in Powys have enjoyed the Summer Reading Challenge in the past as primary school pupils but as reading activists, they were excellent and enthusiastic reading role models for young readers this summer and made a contribution to improving literacy levels in their communities.

I would like to thank all those who volunteered this summer and helped make it a successful and rewarding initiative. Our Library Service wishes to continue this in the future as it offers valuable experience in promoting reading to children throughout the year.

Its National Allotments Week, so get involved!  From veggies to chick lit

Would you like to save money and reduce your carbon footprint? With almost a quarter of the UK population growing their own vegetables and an estimated  three quarters of a million people keeping chickens in their back garden, recreating a bit of the good life is more popular than ever.

National Gardening Week is upon us, so now is the ideal time to make a start. And keeping with the green theme, your library is a great source of free information with books, dvds, e-books, magazines and more to help you make the most of your patch without spending your cash on books when you could be spending it on plants, seeds or chicken feed.

More and more people are discovering the advantages of gardening and growing their own fruit and vegetables. Gardening is important to our environment, good for our health and can be lots of fun. Jane Purdie is a keen gardener and has been growing her own vegetables for several years.  She has recently bought three chickens: We got a few books out of the library before deciding that chickens would fit into the garden and not be too much trouble.  Ive borrowed a couple of books since we had them too – just to check up on things. They are such funny birds and have settled in really quickly, we have lovely fresh eggs every day and they help with the weeding!

You can search online for the books available in your library or as e-books and you can join the library, reserve and renew books online  for more information visit librarywales.org

Welsh libraries have even got a short film about getting gardening books from the library with Grampy and Dylan Bibli working hard to reduce their carbon footprint youtube.com/WelshLibraries

Libraries across Wales are getting ready to encourage young readers to explore some of the astonishing real-life achievements and world records featured in the Guinness World Records Books as part of this years Summer Reading Challenge.

Launching the challenge at Cefn Mawr Library in Wrexham today, Ken Skates, AM, Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport & Tourism commented: Reading for pleasure is important to help children develop literacy and wider skills and we should encourage children to read in all forms  from factual books like the Guinness World Records through to fantasy filled fiction, magazines, comics or the classics. Im delighted to be here today to launch the Summer Reading Challenge in Wales and to pledge my support to the challenge  and especially pleased that the children are attempting to set a new record by reading one of my favourite authors  Roald Dahl!

Over one hundred children from four local primary schools are attempting to set a Welsh record for the largest number of children reading the same passage aloud from the same book at the same time. They will be reading from The Twits by Roald Dahl.

Councillor Hugh Jones, Lead Member for Communities and Partnerships from Wrexham Council said: Its a pleasure to see so many children reading together in our community library. Reading is an important life skill and access to the free resources available in libraries is a key driver in addressing the future skills and employability of our children and offers a safe place for them to learn and experience new things.

Organised by The Reading Agency charity and the public library network, the challenge is supported in Wales by the Museums, Archives and Libraries Division of Welsh Government and by the Welsh Books Council. Now in its 17th year, the annual Summer Reading Challenge, aimed at 4- 11 year olds and their families is simple, fun and FREE to do. Children are encouraged to read six or more library books of their choice during the summer holidays with collectable incentives and rewards, plus a certificate, or medal for every child who completes the challenge.

As part of this years challenge, children, parents, carers, young volunteers, teachers, much-loved childrens authors and others will be asked to make a pledge to help set a new Guinness World Records title for the Most Pledges Received for a Reading Campaign! Public libraries are collecting pledges across the UK between Friday 10 and Monday 13 July check with your local library to find out when you can submit your pledge – a minimum of 100,000 pledges are needed to set the record!

Taking part is FREE and the Summer Reading Challenge is just one of many exciting schemes public libraries offer to help children develop a love of reading, gain confidence and get new skills. Libraries across Wales are putting on lots of exciting events and activities during the summer holidays to keep children occupied and parents stress free!

Welsh libraries and primary schools are joining forces to provide every primary school child with a library card  the project started in March this year with six local authorities piloting the initiative and, thanks to Welsh Government funding from the Department of Culture, Sport & Tourism, this has now been rolled out to ten more local authorities (16 in total) targeting another 25,000 children.

Launching the initiative in Wrexham Library today, Dr Rhys Jones – best known for his hit BBC series including Rhys to the Rescue and Dr Rhys Joness Wildlife Patrol said: Libraries are such an important resource – they are a great place for children to let their imagination grow and to develop and it is vitally important that we encourage our children to read more not only to improve their literacy levels but also to help them with life skills and future opportunities.

Pupils from St. Annes and Hafod y Wern will be taking part in events in libraries, schools and sports halls. Headteacher Debbie Eccles from Victoria County Primary who are already part of the scheme commented: “Every Child A Library Member has been a great initiative to get children in to their local library to see the range of services they can provide for young pupils in Wales. Although lots of our pupils were already members, it gave the other pupils the opportunity to become a member, visit the library and understand the loaning system. It is targeting younger pupils in year 4 so hopefully it will encourage a lifelong enjoyment of library services and the reading experience.”

Cllr Hugh Jones, Lead Member for Communities, Partnership and Wellbeing said: This library card will allow the children to borrow books straight away and get a great bag to carry their books home with them. Once proof of address is provided, they can then have access to thousands of free books, use the computers and access lots of other resources.

Use your local library to access the amazing range of services including:

  • FREE fiction, non-fiction, comics, graphic novels and talking books
  • FREE homework help – online and in the library
  • FREE e-books and e-magazines
  • FREE computer use and internet access
  • Clubs, games, events, activities and classes in the library
  • Friendly, helpful library staff
  • Somewhere safe to meet friends

This initiative is targeting year four pupils in sixteen Welsh authorities: Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Carmarthenshire, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Swansea, Torfaen and Wrexham.

This initiative supports the Welsh Government’s Education Begins at Home campaign which encourages parents to help their child at home by making time to read which can help their performance in school.

Welsh rugby stars George North and Scott Williams, together with their coach Robin McBryde, launched the World Book Day selfie challenge this week, ready for the big day on 5 March.

The 2015 World Book Day campaign sees the launch of the World Book Day selfie challenge #bookselfie. The challenge, as taken by George, Scott and Robin, sees participants reading a book, taking a selfie and posting it to #bookselfie @DYLLcymWBDwales.

Your selfie can be of you reading your favourite book, or why not take a #bookselfie of yourself reading in an unusual location?

We are all aware of selfies nowadays on Facebook and Twitter, said Angharad Thomas, Reading Promotions Officer for the Welsh Books Council, but with the help of the WRU this year weve launched our very own selfie campaign.

Our aim is to encourage children, adults, parents and teachers across Wales to take a selfie of themselves reading, and upload it to our Twitter feed @DYLLcymWBDwales #bookselfie. By creating a visual collection of #bookselfies we aim to show the world that people across Wales, of all ages, love to read and enjoy reading all sorts of books.

What to do:

  1. Read a book
  2. Take a selfie
  3. Upload it to Twitter #bookselfie @DYLLcymWBDwales

Need some inspiration? You can watch videos of George, Scott and Robin taking part in the challenge on the World Book Day Twitter feed @DYLLcymWBDwales.

Think you can do better? Why not upload your #bookselfie by 5 March for a chance to win a Welsh Rugby Shirt (childs size)?

Take up the #bookselfie challenge  lets get Wales reading!
