Please note: due to industrial action, the date for this event has changed from 7 June to 12 June.

Join Axel Scheffler and Jasbinder Bilan to discover how to create a handmade library for your classroom. Help celebrate the British Library's 50th birthday by inspiring your students to make their own books using non-fiction, storytelling and the power of crafting.

Bring pens and paper to the session so students can begin their creative adventures.
