Get ready for an out-of-this-world adventure at Manchester’s Festival of Libraries. From 4–8 June, families can enjoy free fun with games, crafts, performances, trails and more – all inside your local library.

Kicking things off is the Look for a Book challenge, starring stargazer Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock. 500 hidden copies of her amazing book, Am I Made of Stardust? are waiting to be found in libraries, parks, museums and even buses across Greater Manchester. Solve riddles, follow clues and keep the book if you find one – and some lucky winners might even meet Maggie herself.
