The Story Detectives
Thursday 14 August, from 10.30am to 11.30am.
The Story Detectives, created by Made by Katie Green is an interactive dance adventure to find the Most Important Story and we are very excited to let you know it will be returning to 4 of our libraries during the summer.
Are you brave? Ready for adventure? Fabulous at finding letters? Then why not join Story Detectives, Playful and Particular, as they journey round your local library collecting letters, solving clues, and building an adventure story.
It will take children and their families on an imaginative journey through the library to discover different kinds of books, from a detective book to an adventure book, a dictionary to a fairy tale. It is aimed at children 3+ years and their grownups, however all children are welcome!
Spaces are limited so booking is essential.
