OnFife Libraries have a whole host of events, giveaways and activities planned for World Book Day 2024 next week – in fact, it’s so exciting, they’re celebrating the whole week, not just Thursday 7 March!
Topping the excitement stakes is a special ‘Doodle with Dalilah’ event at Cadham Library in Glenrothes, with Dalilah the Ragdoll cat and her human, Denise Wallace from Pets as Therapy.
Ruth Reid, Project Support with OnFife Young People & Families Team, said: “We’ll be finding out how to care for a Ragdoll cat like Dalilah and how to be responsible around animals. We’ll also enjoy a story and be drawing Dalilah in all her glory.
“It’s a great opportunity for children to have fun and enjoy being read to in the library, but also to learn about responsible pet ownership. We already know this event is going to be super popular so we’re hoping to have Dalilah and Denise back for more events at Cadham Library for anyone who doesn’t see them this time round.”
Throughout the week there will also be author events for Fife schools and library-run reading groups with best-selling authors Emily Dodd, Lauren Ellen Anderson and Janis MacKay. Other events include Storytimes, Crafts and Bookbug sessions, plus there will be World Book Day book giveaways at selected libraries.
There are also free activity packs at all libraries between Saturday 2 March and Sunday 10 March.
“So why not pop along to your local library and see what they have on offer for World Book Day this year!” added Ruth.
