Book week begins in Wyndham

There are activities for all in Wyndham this Book Week, running from August 20 to 26.

This years theme is Dreaming With Eyes Open and seeks to encourage people to dream themselves into a book.

Wyndham council’s learning city portfolio holder, councillor Jasmine Hill said there were “so many events” on offer at local library branches.

“Why not join in one of the fantastic book- themed activities that are available at every library branch including Rhyme Time for one to five year-olds – and the children can dress up as their favourite book character to scavenger hunt, zine making, craft and more,” she said.

“There is so much in store for Book Week – from the quirky and delightful Paddington Bear that will be making a guest appearance at Manor Lakes Library at 10.30am, Thursday, August 25 to exploring a range of Kids Club Online Book Week and Story Box Library activities that will be amazing and fun.

“For our younger residents starting their learning journey, there is a wide range of resources available to support early literacy and numeracy. As well as a wide range of interesting and entertaining books to engage young readers.

“Our libraries can support your child to enjoy reading by providing books to suit all reading levels. We can help your child work out what to read next.”
