Sail into reading with National Bookstart Day
12:43pm today Tuesday 7th October 2008
It is often said reading can enhance creativity and imagination. With this in mind, libraries in Lewisham are celebrating National Bookstart Day (Oct 10) and Children's Book Week (until Oct 10) with a fun pirate theme.
Pirate Parties with themed songs, stories and crafts for under-fives are taking place all over the borough.
Continuing the good work beyond these events, there is also a Book Crawl to encourage very young children to repeatedly visit their library.
Oct 8 Downham Library, 10am to 10.30am. Blackheath Village and Crofton Park Library on October 9, 9.30am to 10am and 10am to 11am. Wavelengths Library, Deptford, on October 10, 2pm to 3pm.
