YOUNGSTERS got in the spirit for Halloween at a library-run spooky craft session.

Clayport Library, in Millennium Place, Durham, held an hour-long event for four to 12-year-olds at which they were shown how to make ghostly masks and costumes for seasonal parties.

It was one of a series of activities organised by the library to keep children entertained during the half-term holiday. and the event included an autumn crafts session followed by traditional mat-making.

There was also a performance by The Gamelan Orchestra on Thursday, a free event held to mark Black History Month.

In addition, the library staged storytime sessions for all ages on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
