There's something fishy going on in libraries in the Fareham and Gosport areas over the summer holidays. As the National Year of Reading comes to an end, Hampshire County Council has organised some fun-filled events to encourage younger readers to read more often and more widely. Libraries throughout Hampshire loaned about 2.8 million books to children last year and this figure is expected to rise with the popularity of the special events being held. Lockswood Library in the Locks Heath Centre is putting on some rainbow fish fun with stories and crafts. Work by the older children will be used to make a collage to decorate the library.
Entry is by free tickets available at the library.
Events at Fareham Library on Thursday 5 and Thursday 12 August carry a 'messy activity' warning. Disney dragon will be flying away from the library and the Rainbow Fish will be taking his place. Children will be welcoming him to his new home with stories and crafts from 11am to 12noon on both days. The event is for children aged five and over. Entry is by free ticket from the library.
