Wokingham

There will be a summer of sporty fun for under-fives in the Wokingham borough’s libraries this summer, with free Sporty Storytimes. Children can come along to their local library and join in with fun sporty games and stories. The sessions are free and there is no need to book.

Plus, there will be a surprise guest at several of the events – the Bookstart Bear. The bear is making surprise visits to children’s events this August and will be joining in the fun at many of the Sporty Storytimes. He can also be seen at Rhymetimes this month.

There are lots of fantastic sport-themed events taking place this summer, as part of the Team Read reading challenge, which is taking place in the borough’s libraries this summer for children aged five to 12. Children aged under five don’t have to feel left out, as they can join the Book Crawl, a scheme running in all Wokingham libraries for children aged under-five. Children collect stickers on each visit to the library and can then exchange four stickers for a certificate.
