Marvellous Makers starts
in Central Bedfordshire Libraries on Friday 19th July and finishes on Saturday 7th September 2024.
It is free and for everyone!
How does it work?
Sign up and get your Marvellous Makers collector's foldout poster and stamp card - then choose your books and take them home to read. You can borrow any library books or read our
e-books or listen to our audiobooks.
When you return your books to the library or tell staff about the ebooks/audiobooks, you will get stamps on your stamp card and stickers for your poster.
You can view our Marvellous Makers Presentation here
