Library Lion!
Thursday 1 November, 10:30am
Everybody knows rules have to be followed, especially in libraries. No running allowed, and you must be quiet.
But what would happen if a lion came to storytime? There are aren't any rules about lions in the library, are there?!
This beautiful story invigorates an endangered species - the local library- with songs, laughter, lots of joining in, and maybe even a big furry hug! BUT NO ROARING!
£3 per child - please prebook to ensure your place (max one free adult per child). Suitable ages 4-7.
