Maidenhead & Windsor

Christmas is definitely in the air at Maidenhead borough libraries next week with two special seasonal storytimes with a festive flavour.

The double helping of Christmas cheer comes to Maidenhead and Ascot libraries on Tuesday December 19 – with an invitation to pre-school youngsters and their parents to come and join in the festive fun and games.

Bringing the magic of Christmas to Maidenhead Library from 2.15 to 3pm will be Henley-based storyteller and entertainer Michael Jones, making a return visit to the library after his successful debut visit in October.

Michael will lead an interactive session of storytelling and songs using puppets and seasonal props to encourage his audience to get into the Christmas spirit.

Ascot library staff will lead Tuesday's second special storytime session at the library in High Street earlier in the day, starting at 10.30am. The Christmas-themed session for under-fives and their parents will also feature Christmas stories and craft activities.

Both sessions are free, no need to book.
