St. Dwynwen’s Day

This week our libraries are celebrating all things love and romance in readiness for St. Dwynwen’s Day on Saturday, 25th March, with dedicated book displays encouraging our visitors to fall in love with a good book - or at least cosy up with one this weekend!

For those who don’t know, St. Dwynwen is the Welsh patron saint of lovers, and she was a fourth century Welsh princess who lived in what is now the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.  Dwynwen was rather unlucky in love, and so she prayed for true lovers to have better luck than she did.

To celebrate St. Dwynwen’s Day our libraries will be providing free love themed craft activities for children to enjoy on Saturday, 25th January from 10am -12pm at Abertillery, Ebbw Vale and Tredegar Libraries.  No booking is necessary, just come along and join the fun!
