Praise for Dunstable Library as the cost of living crisis leaves parents struggling to keep children entertained on a budget

As the cost of living continues to bite your local library could be the solution to help keep your children entertained on a budget.

Mum of three Shagoofa Karim-Samad got in touch with the Luton News to praise Dunstable Library after her children enjoyed the half term activities, which included a Halloween party.

She said: “I recently moved to Dunstable with my three children and husband. With the rising prices I was worried about how I would entertain them during the half term week. However, Dunstable library was the answer to my problem!

“They have held an arts and crafts activity every single day this half term as well as a Halloween party for the children. My children truly enjoyed themselves and I am incredibly grateful to the friendly and helpful staff there for their hard work this week. All the activities have been free of charge and open to all children. This has truly been such a great feature to have and my children have looked forward to the activities everyday. A massive thanks to the library and their staff members!”
