Kids Fun In May

What a wonderful week of storytelling at Merton and London Libraries for our Kids Fun May Library Events last week! The weather was lovely and sunny every day, which is very helpful when you are carrying lots of bags! I arrived at Shoe Lane Library bright and early on Tuesday 28th May to find lots of happy toddlers waiting for Storytime!

It was lovely to see some of the same families, who had also taken part in my Easter Egg Hunt Storytime last month, had returned for my May Storytime! All through the week, I saw familiar faces at various libraries which I found heartwarming.

As I have mentioned in other blog posts, the community atmosphere at Shoe Lane Library is brilliant and it is always a pleasure to do Story time here! They created this cute poster (on the left) and hung it up everywhere at the library which was great!

Wimbledon Library had a May display near the entrance of the library. It featured all of the fantastic events at the library and the staff had printed posters and made leaflets of our event and added them to their display.

I was a little concerned about attendance when I turned up at the library because there weren't many people on the sign-up form. However, by 10:50 am, the children's section of the library was buzzing and I ended up with a large group of parents and children! During the Half-Term holiday, attendance at libraries is unpredictable. I have had groups of 15 right up to 100 people in a library at once!
