Our Literacy Program had an amazing visit at the Oshawa Public Libraries - Jess Hann Branch📚☀️

We spent the afternoon enjoying a fun read-along, creating pictures for a summer scavenger hunt, exploring the library during a bird scavenger hunt and had a fun dance party! We also discovered some great books along the way! 🐦🎨💃📖

A big thank you to the library staff for welcoming our group and helping make literacy learning so much fun! ❤️
