Tracy Briggs, family learning librarian for Slough Borough Council, said: “These courses are designed for adults and families to have lots of fun and learn new skills.
“It’s always great to see families doing activities together and these courses are free of charge, so will suit everyone.”
Commissioner for leisure, Slough cultural and community services, Cllr Julia Long, added: “Children grow up so fast, so it’s a brilliant idea to find ways of doing activities together that everyone can find fun.
“Having the skills to tell your child a story is priceless and one which children really appreciate. IT skills are also paramount in this day and age.
“Hopefully lots of families will attend and enjoy the facilities the library has to offer.”
