Tickets for all events will be £2 and can be obtained from the library concerned. Places may be limited, so early booking is recommended.
Development librarian John Martin said : “The events will encourage people to get out into their gardens and put the winter weather behind them.”
For those unable to attend an event, Leicestershire Libraries can still help.
