We still have places available for our remaining Page One sessions.

If your child would like to attend, please visit the library before Thursday’s session to reserve a spot.

The theme for this series is “Read to the Beat,” which aligns with this year’s Summer Reading Challenge.

These sessions provide a great opportunity for children to engage with the theme in advance.

Last week’s session, “Book Bands,” encouraged children to design a poster for fictional/new bands inspired by book characters. A snapshot of their work in progress is shown below.

Upcoming sessions:

• Session 2: Awesome Albums
• Session 3: Interesting Instruments
• Session 4: Fantastic Festivals
