DURHAM'S Clayport Library will be joining in Chinese New Year celebrations next weekend.
A Chinese lion will feature in the traditional dance in Millennium Square, Claypath, a week on Saturday between 1pm and 1.30pm.
The nearby library will host a storytime session at 11am and activities throughout the day to coincide with the dance, whose traditions date back thousands of years.
The activities are part of a series of events at the library during the school half-term holiday.
On Wednesday there will be a free storytelling session with Pascale Konyn for children aged seven to 12, between 11 and 11.45am.
In the afternoon, the library will hold a craft session on a Chinese New Year theme for five to 12-year-olds.
It will run for an hour from 2.30pm and places, which cost £1, can be booked by calling 0191-386 4003.
