The Blank Page project announces more creative workshops for teens during winter holidays

Following the success of the summer programme, Suffolk Libraries has announced a series of winter workshops for teens taking place in libraries across the county, as part of The Blank Page Project.

The winter workshops start on Thursday 21 December and will take place at our libraries in Haverhill, Stowmarket, Gainsborough, Lowestoft, Chantry, Great Cornard, Halesworth and Bungay.
