Library

When was the last time you visited?

Turns out they keep some impressive collections! Your local library is a great post-school activity to build into your routine.

Needing something to pad that time between school pick up & dinner time? Making a weekly visit might be the one place you can listen to your child do all their Home Readers. It might become the place your child finally finds a series or style of book they can’t put down. Find your local with our links below.

Now your kiddo is at big school - have you heard them utter the words “picture books are for babies”?

GASP!

This could not actually be further from the truth. Please prove them otherwise & encourage them to think differently. Check out the Chronicle article below to get confidence on this hot topic.
