At the Library, we love kids' books. Why? Because we know that they can be fun, adventurous, scary, or even silly. Books for kids can make us laugh, and think, and learn new things. We want to celebrate kids' books, but we need your help. Read on to find out how you can be part of the fun.
Choose a character
Ever wonder what it would be like to be in a book? Well, it’s time to find out!
Pretending to be a character can have you hunting for clues, completing a mission, or transporting you to far-off places. We’re challenging book lovers like you to dive into adventure by dressing up as their favourite book character and sharing a photo with us to include in our celebrate kids' books gallery. Now, for the hard part...choosing just one character as your favourite!
