October saw plenty of Halloween fun in Torfaen Libraries.
At Pontypool Library children dressed up as spooks and witches for our half term story and craft session and the staff couldn't wait to get in on the act too.
27 October 2014 saw the 100th Anniversary of the birth of our great Welsh Poet, Dylan Thomas.
As part of the centenary celebrations, Dylan’s Great Poem was Developing Dylan 100’s international online event to help award-winning poets Owen Sheers and Mari George create a 100-line bilingual epic written by the young people of the world. Anyone aged 7-25 was eligible to submit up to four lines of poetry, each up to eight words long, on the theme of ‘Remember’. Contributions to Dylan’s Great Poem were submitted on National Poetry Day, Thursday 2 October 2014. The poem was edited by Owen Sheers in English and by Mari George in Welsh.
