Dive into Summer Reading: Parramatta’s 2024-2025 Program Unveiled

Welcome to the latest episode of Parra Pods, the City of Parramatta Libraries podcast dedicated to book lovers. Today, Erica is joined by Shelley, a seasoned children's book reviewer from the Children's Book Council of New South Wales, to delve into the City of Parramatta Libraries Summer Reading Holiday Program for 2024-2025.

This year, the program invites young readers aged 0-16 to 'Escape into a World of Imagination' with a myriad of exciting stories and the chance to win fantastic prizes. Shelley highlights three must-read picture books available in the library's collection, offering insights into storytelling that fosters creativity and learning. From whimsical bunnies in "I Am Wrigley" (Ages 3+) to the thoughtful narratives of "The Turtle and the Flood" (Ages 3+) and "A Friend for Ruby," (Ages 4 - 8) these reads cater to varied age groups and interests.

Listeners will also learn how to become library members and access these wonderful resources. Stay tuned for more Parra Pods episodes in the coming year, sharing new adventures in storytelling!
