The library has been housing the area's first Family Hub, which is celebrating its first anniversary after opening its doors last year.

The hub brings together various services from the council and partners in one place, giving families the opportunity to speak face to face with trained staff, in a safe, non-stigmatising space.

The free anniversary event will include crafts, activities, and VR headsets, as well as food and drinks for visitors.

There may even be a special visit from Santa's little helpers to hand out presents for children on the day.
