Elmer Day takes place on Saturday 23rd May in 2026.
Come along for this special storytime to celebrate Elmer Day!!!
Elmer Day is a colourful celebration of David Mckee's patchwork elephant, Elmer.
This year, we are celebrating on Saturday 24th May.
This annual event encourages both children and adults to celebrate the core themes of the Elmer stories: diversity, kindness and creativity.
Come along to Muswell Hill Library and celebrate this day with us by making your own Elmer the elephant face mask. Have fun colouring it in, cutting in out and trying it on!
We love Bees, and so does Maisy Mouse. It’s World Bee Day, so we will be reading some stories about our little buzzing friends, and Maisy will help to tell us all about them.
You might also get some good ideas about the type of storybooks you want to borrow and read at home.
🐝We celebrate World Bee Day globally on the 20th of May.
🐝Bees are amazing!
Did you know that bees are very important little insects that help keep our world healthy and happy? They help plants grow by moving pollen from flower to flower. This gives us lots of the food we eat.🎨
Celebrate World Bee Day by making your very own paper bumblebee and learn more about these busy little helpers.
World Day for Cultural Diversity is celebrated every year on 21st May.
Come and join us at the library for a special Rhyme Time to celebrate people, languages, and cultures from around the world.
This Rhyme Time session will include fun songs and rhymes in English, Portuguese, and Albanian.

Come along to celebrate Elmer Day with a fun and colourful collage craft.
