Get Creative with Christmas Cheer at Whitehead and Maghera Libraries Design a Christmas Poem Events!
Published 30 Oct 2024
Whitehead and Maghera libraries are getting into the festive spirit early this year with ‘Design a Poem for Christmas’ a unique event that lets you craft a personalised Christmas gift from the heart. Join us for one of two special sessions: Whitehead Library on Wednesday 6 November from 2:00pm, or Maghera Library on Tuesday 12 November at 3:30pm.
Each session is led by local poet Angela Graham, author of the beautiful collection STAR: Poems for the Christmas Season. Angela will take you through the creative process, helping you design a poem that expresses the warmth and magic of the holidays. With her guidance, you’ll craft a unique piece for loved ones, a personal keepsake that captures the spirit of the season.
Whether you’re looking for a special gift for family, friends, or someone close to your heart, a customised poem is a memorable way to show you care.
Spaces are limited at both sessions, so booking is essential. To reserve your place, simply speak to our staff by contacting Whitehead Library on t: 028 9335 3249 or e: whitehead.library@librariesni.org.uk, or Maghera Library on t: 028 7964 2578 or e: maghera.library@librariesni.org.uk.
