#CalmColouring is a mindful colouring-in session Artizan St. Library runs after school on Wednesdays. We're wondering if it's too early to break out the glitter crayons and the Christmassy designs? 🎄🎅 ❄️☃️

We have a new neighbour courtesy of the Fleet Street Quarter Snowman Trail!

There are 12 snowmen dotted around the Fleet Street area for the 12 days of Christmas.
