Now extended until Saturday 29 August so even more families can adventure into space, through the jungle and to the bottom of the ocean. Right through to the end of the summer holidays! Take a fantastical trip to the far reaches of outer space, the depths of the jungle and the bottom of the ocean floor in a free family experience that we’ve created with the British Library. Inspired by our work with Leeds families, there’ll be lots of books, of course, but also intriguing objects, surprising sounds and exciting art. Oh, and there’s also a giant cuddly octopus! Whatever it is, everything in ‘Story Explorers’ has a story to tell, and so do you. Here’s what to expect when you visit: – Interactive elements for children to play with and creative ways to get involved, including a moon you can step in to and explore, an octopus to sit and read with, and an activity table to draw and create at – See some weird and wonderful items up close – selected from and inspired by the collections of Leeds Libraries, Leeds Museums and Galleries, and the British Library – all while you explore three imaginary worlds – A mini children’s library to sit in and relax together – Family-friendly facilities including free buggy park, baby change units and accessible toilet Free to visit, just drop in! Co-produced by the British Library and Leeds Libraries.
