South Gloucestershire Council’s libraries will be hosting a series of science themed events between 6 to 15 March, as part of British Science Week.
This year’s national celebration of science is ‘Our Diverse Planet’, which celebrates the splendour and diversity of our natural environment and everything living within it.
