    @HelenM Hello I am an experienced face painter and I'm CRB checked as I am a leader at the local Brownie pack. I have a weekday free each week, let me know if you need an extra face painter or just an extra pair of hands to help with activities. I'm a freelance prop maker and illustrator too so I'd be happy to help with your projects. Miss A

    Hi,

    I'm sure the librarian would be delighted to hear from you - Rebecca.Gediking@haringey.gov.uk
    Please tell your Brownies about the events - and there will be similar schedules at other local libraries.
    I help run the 'Friends' group at the library. Could you do an evening talk in the autumn in the autumn on prop making / illustrating?
    Thanks.
