It was part of the Bounce into Books Festival, a joint venture with local libraries and Bounce Marketing to bring children’s authors to the region.

So what better reason to get the family together for some good old-fashioned storytelling around a cosy fire.  If you prefer to read from a book then even though you may have missed our children's storytime at Brigg Library yesterday you can still join us at Kirton Library from 2pm to 3pm on Friday to share some stories.  And if you can't make that then there are still loads of great books for reading aloud to borrow from your local library....
