Children and parents have fun learning at library’s bookbug sessions

- GARY ARMSTRONG

A group of youngsters are eager to learn after returning to Bookbug sessions.

A series of storytelli­ng classes has been taking place at Johnstone Library with youngsters showing a curious spirit, keen to take on even more knowledge in 2019.

Organisers of the Bookbug events have found the experience, which incorporat­es stories, songs, rhymes and games is invaluable for toddlers and that a love of reading gives kids a better chance at school.

A spokespers­on for the event said: “Most of a child’s language comes from the adults around them.

“Enjoying books with babies and toddlers increases language skills.”

Bookbug is a nationwide program which aims to encourages kids to get interested in books with their parents and carers.
