Another fantastic Saturday morning at the library!

In Cwmbran, author Mike Howells popped in to read some heartwarming stories from his book, ‘Henry’s Heartwise Adventures’ whilst the Chatterbooks crew came up with their own poem from random prompts to celebrate UK National Poetry Day (on 1st October).

Let’s hope that dragon behaves if he ever visits our libraries!

Bore Sadwrn gwych arall yn y llyfrgell!

Yng Nghwmbrân, galwodd yr awdur Mike Howells heibio i ddarllen ambell i stori calonogol o'i lyfr, ‘Henry’s Heartwise Adventures’, ac aeth criw Clonclyfrau ati i ddefnyddio ambell i awgrym ar hap i lunio’u cerdd eu hunain, i ddathlu Diwrnod Cenedlaethol Barddoniaeth y DU (ar 1 Hydref).

Gobeithio y bydd y ddraig yn bihafio os bydd hi’n galw heibio’r llyfrgell rhyw dro!
