Workshops on offer as young writers are invited to get scribbling

BUDDING writers of primary school age are encouraged to take part in a competition being held by Rotherham Libraries.

The contest — split into three age groups up to Year 6 — asks youngsters to write about the places in the borough that mean most to them.

The piece of work can be about a Rotherham person, location or memory, or perhaps something unusual or which makes them proud.

Visit rotherham.gov.uk/libraries/rotherham-loves-writing for details of how to enter. The deadline is May 22.

Easter holiday writing workshops take place next week, including at Riverside House on Wednesday (12); Kiveton Park, Aston, Swinton and Greasbrough on Thursday (13); and Riverside and Mowbray Gardens in Friday.
