Family Literacy Day

 

We greatly appreciate the dedication and hard work of all volunteers and committee members who help make this event a reality yearly. We value our place on the committee and all we can do to help support this event. Held every January at Peterborough Square, this free event celebrates the joy of reading through storytelling sessions, interactive literacy activities, and free book giveaways. It is a highlight of our annual calendar, bringing families together to celebrate the benefits of reading and learning in a communal setting. The event inspires children to read and encourages parents to engage in literacy activities with their children, reinforcing the role of family in educational development.
