CASE STUDY 4
In February 2022 liveArgyll libraries launched our first children’s club at Rothesay Library. Over a period of 6 weeks we offered children of school ages P3 – P7 the opportunity to come along and enjoy fun and games at the library.
For the first three weeks we ran each session with a different theme but always had alternative games and the extremely popular ‘search and find books’ for any child who did not engage. This worked incredibly well, to such
an extent that it encouraged the children who attended to work together as a team to enjoy each session.
The themes were Lego Club, Crafty Crafters and Fun and Games at the Library. The Lego Club worked well with our library team working together with the children to make their own Lego creations. We invested in Lego themed books to help with this. As this was a trial
for Clubtastic we took note of the level of engagement required by our team and also gained ideas for how to use this Lego theme, for example creating challenges for the children such as building an item with 50 blue bricks.
Our Crafty Crafters session worked well. The children really enjoyed working with craft paper and designing and making their own baubles, drawing and colouring. The library team worked together with Active Schools to put together
the Fun and Games theme. The session was
run by the library team and the children loved the games and activities so much so that the children who attended the first block of sessions immediately asked their grown-ups to sign them up for the next three sessions.
Parental feedback was fantastic with one particular family stating that their child “absolutely loved it! She’s been asking when it will be on again.”
