Possilpark Library

What it’s like

Free Bookbug sessions for the under-fives and a craft club for older kids, with step-free access and no booking needed.

Two things happen here that are worth building a week around. Bookbug sessions are for babies, toddlers and under-fives, all the singing and rhyme-time stuff that gets them used to a library being a fun place rather than a quiet one. Then there's Kid's Craft Club for the 5 to 11 crowd, which is the one to save for when they're past the sitting-still-for-songs stage and want to actually make something.

It's free to get in, which matters when you're working out a week of school-holiday activities on a budget. Opening hours shift through the week: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays it's 10am to 5pm, while Mondays and Wednesdays it opens later at 1pm and runs through to 8pm, so it's worth having a look at which day suits before you turn up with a toddler who's due a nap. There's no booking link listed, so this reads as a turn-up kind of place rather than one where you need to reserve a spot.

Access is straightforward: step-free in, an accessible toilet, baby change facilities and wifi if you need to keep half an eye on your phone while the kids are at craft club. Breastfeeding is welcome too. Parking is on-street only, no dedicated car park, which is a small faff if you're coming by car and hoping to park right outside.
