Not your usual library

Worried that your child fits the definition of an ‘iPad kid’ for whom a library would be the last place on Earth to set foot in? This diarist has some good news for such parents. There’s a literary workshop being planned at a venue on Carmichael Road for 7 to 10 year-olds, to help them discover the joy of reading books in a digital-first world. Titled A Celebration of Stories, Just B-The Library is Open, helmed by library educators Bhavna Faizullabhoy and Anam Bachooali, will facilitate two-day workshop across July 15 and 16. “The idea is to keep building curiosity about books and reading, drawing children into the library, helping them on their reading journey, exploring new genres, finding new authors, and not giving up on reading altogether,” Faizullabhoy told this diarist. Participants can look forward to read-aloud sessions, fun games and activities and the best part — children can borrow up to three books from their library for two weeks! If you’re keen to register, call 9820333934 or 9820068682.
