Ahoy me hearties! - Dress like a pirate, read with a pirate

Wanneroo Mayor Tracey Roberts said children are being encouraged to dress like a pirate for “Pirates Ahoy!” as part of Children’s Book Week and the Reading Hour.

“It is a series of family friendly events that promises to delight young and old,” Mayor Roberts said.

“I urge residents to bring their family, wear a pirate costume and their biggest smile, to listen to staff share their favourite books.  Come ready to have fun.

“Reading with young children gives them a head start to life-long literacy and helps develop their love of books. Making that reading a fun and memorable experience is a sure way to engage children in learning.”

The events are free and will be held at each of the City’s libraries during August. 

Bookings are essential and can be made through the City’s events calendar at http://www.library.wanneroo.wa.gov.au/ or by calling your local library.  Snacks will be provided.
