Richmond Code Club

Do you like computer games and animations? Would you like to learn how to create your own?
Richmond Libraries' Code Club is a free coding club open to young people aged 6 – 17. We will be running sessions on Scratch, HTML, Python, Robotics, Raspberry Pi and using Micro:bits. You will get the opportunity to work on your own project, from designing websites and video games to creating cool graphics!

Page Turners

At Page Turners we read an extract or short story together, pausing to discuss. Then we read a poem and share our thoughts. Hot drinks and biscuits are provided. Everyone is welcome.
There is no need to read anything in advance, just join the session ready to explore new stories.

Chatterbooks Library Club

Our free Chatterbooks groups are open to anyone in Year 4 & 5 and take place after school in many of our libraries. In these hour-long themed sessions children are encouraged to think creatively, explore new stories, and have a lot of fun playing games. At the same time, they'll make new friends and discover fantastic books by amazing authors.
