Free festive family fun at Weston Library

Families are invited to get into the festive spirit at Weston Library on Saturday 10 December as local author Steve Gunning visits to read excerpts from his debut book ‘Santa’s Secret Agents’. The free event starts at 10am and there’s no need to book.

The story takes a behind-the-scenes look at how Santa knows which children have been naughty or nice and whether they deserve the presents on their Christmas lists. Santa's Secret Agents, under the command of jolly Saint Nick (a.k.a. Double Ho 7) and Mrs Claus, are always watching but where are they hiding?

Bristol-born Steve, who now lives in Clevedon, co-authored the book with Chris Wheeler. As well as illustrating the book, Steve designed free colouring sheets that will be available to take home after the reading, or colour-in at the library.

Published by Carraway Publishing, the 32-page book was written to encourage reading from an early age. It appeals to children aged five and upwards, in particular seven and eight-year-olds. The humorous book is also popular with adults – look out for the tongue-in-cheek spy references.

Santa’s Secret Agents is available to buy from local bookshops or to loan from North Somerset libraries.

Details of all the events taking place across North Somerset libraries are available on the council's website at www.n-somerset.gov.uk/libraryevents.
