STORY TIME AT BRIGG LIBRARY

FROM NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL

Have you ever wished that the animals in your favourite book would come to life? Then look no further as Brigg and Riddings Library are hosting ‘Creepy House’ animal story time sessions where children will be able to meet the animals.
This summer holiday, Rachael the storyteller from Lion Learners will visit both libraries to read some creepy animal themed stories.
Children will get the chance to meet and handle the real life animals from the books - there will be some furry animals, as well as some scary and spiky ones.
The sessions are on:
  • Wednesday 21 August from 2.45pm to 3.45pm at Brigg Library, in the Angel complex.
  • Friday 23 August from 1pm to 2pm at Riddings Library, Scunthorpe.
The story time sessions are suitable for children aged four years and above who are taking part in the Summer Reading Challenge.
Booking is essential and it costs £3 to take part, so make sure you book your place and don’t miss out.
For more information or to book your child’s place pop into the libraries, alternatively call Brigg Library on 01724 296776 or Riddings Library on 01724 865412.
This event supports Creepy House – the Summer Reading Challenge.
A North Lincolnshire Council spokesperson, said: “The Summer Reading Challenge is a great way of encouraging children and young people to read more books. Each year has a different theme to make it interesting for children to take part.
“There have been many activity sessions throughout North Lincolnshire libraries this summer for children to get involved in, which have been very popular so far. Book your place at the next sessions to make sure you don’t miss out."
The Summer Reading Challenge invites children to become Creepy House explorers, they can read library books along the way to get stickers and incentives and use a special fold-out poster to keep track. The challenge is for children to read six books by the end of the summer holiday and they will receive a certificate and medal at the end.
It is open to all children and young people aged four and over. It runs from Saturday 13 July to Saturday 7 September, and it is free to join and take part.
