Poole Central Library in Dorset has announced a full schedule of free events for February 2026, featuring activities for the school half-term and personal support for residents using digital technology. The library, which is managed by BCP Council, is located on the second floor of the Dolphin Centre.

Families can take part in various activities during the spring half-term, which runs from February 16, 2026, to February 20, 2026. The programme includes children’s craft sessions, treasure hunts, and Lego clubs designed to help young people learn new skills through play.

Special activities are also planned to celebrate Chinese New Year on February 17, 2026. For adults, a poetry reading group meets on the second Saturday of every month, with the next session taking place on February 14, 2026, from 10:30am to 12:30pm.

Residents who need help with mobile phones, tablets, or computers can book one-to-one sessions with Tech Buddies. These are friendly volunteers who offer free assistance to anyone struggling to navigate digital devices or the internet.

The library continues to operate as an official Welcome Space for the local community. This initiative provides a heated environment where people can socialise, find a quiet place away from home, or enjoy a warm drink during the colder months.
