Path of Slough discovery
Young Slough library fans will be celebrating on Saturday 17th November after they completed a number of fun activities during ‘Family Learner’s Week’ in October.
More than 20 Slough children, between the ages of eight and 12, took part and they will receive certificates for competing in a number of discovery themed challenges.
Over the two days, in October, adults and children got the chance to join in a discovery trail around the library, uncovering new authors and exciting facts. They also had to compare old and new pictures of Slough to see what has changed over the years.
Gaynor Baveystock, inclusion and learning librarian for Slough library, said: “I am really proud of all the families who took part in the activities, everyone got stuck in and had a lot of fun.
“For many of the children it was their first time in a library and I think the event showed them that libraries can be a place for fun as well as learning.”
Cllr Julia Long, commissioner for Slough leisure, cultural and community services, said; “Libraries are for the whole community and events like this are a good way of getting children involved.
“I am pleased so many children took part and I’m sure that they learnt a lot. You never know, even their parents might have discovered something new.”
The certificates will be awarded in the junior library, ground floor Slough library at 11am.
