In celebration of Family Literacy Day on Friday, January 27, 2012 and February's I Love to Read Month, Winnipeg Public Library is hosting 16 Family Literacy Fun Days!The whole family is invited and fun is guaranteed.
Family Literacy Fun Days is a special library event where families travel between multiple stations, taking part in exciting games and creative activities to promote the playful use of reading, writing and language skills. Each family receives a "passport" that is stamped after each activity is completed.
The event is free, open to all and no registration is required. Just drop in and participate at your own pace.
During your visit, use your library card to borrow magazines, movies, music and books - there is something for everyone in the family. A library card is free if you live or pay property or business taxes in the City of Winnipeg. Your card can be used at all 20 branches of Winnipeg Public Library.
