OK, now is the perfect time for us to talk about Discover's London Children's Book Swap. It's just under a month away, so, don't you worry, we can all still get involved!
In case you don't already know about it, here's my five-point low-down:
- The fun takes place on Saturday 14th February 2015
- It is FREE!
- There are 38 London venues taking part, including ArtHouse Crouch End, the Southbank Centre and Discover Children's Story Centre (of course!). For a full list of venues, have a look-see at the facebook page
- There will be free activities and entertainment at some of the venues
- All you need to do is take a book to swap!
The Book Swap is set to be a lot of fun, but you can get involved even if you can't make it on the day. How? You ask. By donating books, that's how! Just get in touch with Julia Cameron, Marketing Officer at Discover Children’s Story Centre for more info ([email protected]). And those of you who come along, please share your photos! You can find the good Book Swap folks on Twitter and follow the conversation using this wee hashtag #LDNChildrensBkSwap.
"The London Children’s Book Swap is an excellent means of encouraging families to read together while feeding children’s desire for stories and the drive to read and learn."
