Sue Ball, Libraries and Arts Manager at Staffordshire County Council said: “We’re thrilled to be able to host another Science Fair at Perton Library.
“This is always a fantastic event and a great example of how important our libraries are for bringing communities together. The team have worked incredibly hard with the community and partners to organise such a great line up of activities.
“It’s guaranteed to be a great day of family fun, while learning about science, engineering, technology and raising awareness of climate change issues. I hope people are able to visit on the day.”
