Flick holds many events during the year and especially during the holiday periods. The events that have been held at the library so far in 2004 are Cyber Chaos, Infectious Grooves drumming workshops and much, much more. Please contact Flick for future planned events or if you have an event you would like to hold at the library.

Flick also holds regular craft events during school holiday periods. Please contact Flick for further information and availability of places.

You will also be able to see members of Flick staff at events, such as the Early Years Fair, throughout South Tyneside. Look out for our stall and us where we will have lots of interesting things to make and do (and books of course).

Every Year South Tyneside holds it Summer Holiday Reading Club at each of its libraries and at numerous centres across the borough, in connection with the Summer Holiday Reading Challenge. There are always lots of great new books, an arts competition, quizzes, puzzles, colourings-in, craft workshops and prizes. Come along this summer and join in the fun. Contact Flick for further details.

NCBF The Northern Children's Book Festival takes place, during two weeks, early November throughout the North East of England culminating in a themed Gala Day.

Well known children's authors and illustrators give talks about and performances of their work in schools across the region.

In 2004 as well as taking authors into various schools, South Tyneside Libraries, alongside the Schools Library Service, hosted two mini gala days, one at Bede's World and one at the Central Library, inviting hundreds of children from schools across the borough to come and meet their favourite authors.

Twilight sessions were also held for members of the public to come along. The event is held annually, so please contact Flick if you are interested in meeting an author in 2005.
