Learning 12 May 2023
Bookbug Week is nearly here!
Bookbug Week is nearly here! This year we’ll be having a Big Shoogle with Bookbug – that means you can expect sessions with songs and rhymes to get you moving!
Bookbug Week runs from 15-21 May. t’s a chance for us to celebrate all the fun we have sharing songs, stories, and rhymes, but it’s also good time to remember that while we’re singing and dancing, we’re also learning!
Here’s some of the fun you can expect in Bookbug Week.
Bookbug Sessions
Our regular weekly Bookbug sessions. These are always popular, so advance registration is best. You can book a free place on Eventbrite.
Bonnybridge Library’s regular session has moved to a Wednesday for one week only. On 17 May They’ll have some special guests: the children of Antonine Nursery, and Malcolm and his guitar. Join us for a sing-along!

Win a goody bag in our Treasure Hunt!

In the bag is a mini Bookbug doll, a sheet of stickers, a finger puppet and some lovely picture books.
