📚 Orientation & Story Hour @ Avondale Library

Tammy’s Daycare enjoyed a fun and educational visit to Avondale Library! 🌈📖 The children took part in library orientation, learning how the library works, exploring the children’s section, discovering books and becoming familiar with the library environment.

The visit also included a wonderful Story Hour, where the little ones listened to a story, used their imaginations and enjoyed a creative colouring activity. 🐝📚🎨

It was a lovely opportunity to introduce young children to the joy of reading and encourage a lifelong love for books and libraries. ❤️

Thank you, Tammy’s Daycare, for visiting Avondale Library! We look forward to welcoming you again. 🌟📖
