Join us for week 6 and find out! This week’s theme is “Check this out! Plants Aplenty!”

To have fun exploring this week’s theme from home, download our “plant-iful” colouring sheet and check out this week’s online reading list – we have “plant-y” of themed books there!

This week we are making some friends that are… a little bit different than the usual! Check this out! Monster Mayhem! We are learning that not all monsters are scary, just misunderstood, and some monsters need confidence and the power of friendship to defeat! Some can even teach us a thing or two about our emotions and how to deal with them! We need your bravery, confidence, and creativity this week at the library for our session to face these monsters together! We hope to see you there! 

To have fun exploring this week’s theme at home, download our monstrous colouring sheets and have a look through this week’s marvelous reading list!  Head over to your local library branch and see if you can find a friendly monster book! 

Keep reading!
