Warm Spaces – Free events at Cowbridge and Llantwit Major Libraries during March
As part of the Vale Council’s Warm Spaces initiative, funding was secured to put on events and activities at Cowbridge and Llantwit Major Libraries.
Libraries have always been warm, welcoming spaces with access to free Wi-Fi, computers, study areas, books, and other resources and so are ideally placed to offer a Warm Space to the residents of the Vale.
The Grant funding received form Vale of Glamorgan Council has enabled us to enhance our ‘Warm Spaces’ offer, providing free tea and coffee to all, as well as board games, jigsaws, and crossword puzzles.
In addition to this, we are hosting a series of free craft workshops and author talks.These events aim to combat social isolation as well as giving people the opportunity to try their hand at something new.
People must be 16+ to book onto these events. All events are free and all materials are supplied.
