Description: ISLINGTON WRITERS FOR CHILDREN
JOHN O’LEARY
This week, I finished my second library tour of the Summer – this time six libraries in the London Borough of Greenwich, as part of the sports-themed Summer Reading Challenge 2023. The libraries I visited were Woolwich Centre, West Greenwich, Plumstead, Blackheath, Charlton House and Eltham Centre.
I had the pleasure of talking to families about books and reading before working together on a pop-up activity – with moving parts! We used the lovely characters created by Loretta Schauer for the Summer Reading Challenge as a starting point for our designs – some children used other characters and some created their own.
