Creating Sounds this Summer
The Summer Reading Challenge is back! Created by The Reading Agency and delivered by Surrey Libraries, this year the Challenge celebrates the Creative Arts whilst, of course, encouraging children to read throughout the summer holidays.
As part of this exciting summer, Surrey Libraries have partnered with Surrey Arts to offer free drop-in sessions for young people of all ages to try a variety of instruments and learn more about playing music in Surrey. Join us in creating a soundtrack for different characters and enjoy making noise at the library:

Visit Creating Sounds this Summer to see other available sessions.
Booking is not required for these free drop-in sessions. These events are suitable for young people of all ages; however, children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
