Wokingham

Families visiting Wokingham district libraries can discover a world of reading this fortnight, at a series of special family storytimes. These special events for all the family are part of Family Reading Fortnight (January 8 to 20).

Parents and children of all ages can visit three of the district’s libraries to hear special bedtime themed stories. Wokingham, Lower Earley and Woodley libraries will be hosting these free events, which also include the chance for children to make their own picture book!

Every family who comes along will be given a free book by children’s laureate and popular children’s author Jacqueline Wilson. The book, entitled Great Books to Read Aloud, contains over 70 suggestions of books for families to read together and also includes tips to help get your family reading. It includes reviews and extracts from children’s favourites such as The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler and Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes.
