Kids learn fast and early, and the Prince Albert Public Library hopes to helps with that process by hosting a two hour event aimed at families on Saturday.
Take Your Child to the Library Day runs from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Prince Albert Public Library. The event will feature a variety of activities, including face painting, mini golf, crafts in a bag, and the chance to sign up for a library card.
“This day is important because it promotes leadership in kids, strengthens families connections and encourages the community to see the Library as a welcoming space,” said Vieng Enchanh, Communications and Marketing Coordinator, Prince Albert Public Library.
The event is free and parents, guardians, siblings, and friends are encouraged to visit on Saturday as this will afford them the opportunity to explore the library.
“This day is about encouraging families to visit the library and enjoy our free activities,” Enchanh explained. “Take your Child to the Library Day is nationally recognised and we have lined up wonderful and interesting activities for the kids that will be attending.”
The kids can be from age 3-12 and should be accompanied by adult. This is the first edition of this event and attending the event is free for everyone. Also those that don’t have library cards are welcome to attend. Some vital documents like health card and photo Id are also needed to sign up for a library card.
“We look forward to welcoming the kids and introducing the various library activities to them,” Enchant said. “Share the experience and find out what the Prince Albert Public Library has to offer. (Things) like concerts, plays craft, story time and a lot more.”
