The session aims to help children think about all the things that make libraries so important to their users – as well as the practicalities of how the library functions.

The children take part in a quiz to help them understand the Dewey Decimal system, curate a book display on the theme of well-being and leave their comments on the value of a library to feature alongside their display.

The session also includes the opportunity to explore the building using a trail sheet which includes a special visit to the archive.
