The Little Book Shed is officially restocked and ready for the new academic year! It was wonderful to see so many families using the shed over the summer.

As we gear up for the start of school, please help us keep our books safe. We had a few damaged copies left out on the green recently and some books with torn pages. We love sharing these books, so please remind little ones to handle them with care so every family can enjoy them!

A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteers for restocking the shed and rewriting the door signs, it looks amazing!

Upcoming Events:

Meet & Greet at the shed: 23rd Sept @ 3:15 PM
Welcoming all new school starters and returning families!

Halloween Reading at the shed:31st Oct @ 10:00 AM
Spooky storytime fun!

More event details will be posted soon. Stay tuned!
