It's hot outside, and since Vodice has a beautiful park, the Vodice Public Library has decided to move stories and games to the grass for the next two months!
Picnic Storytime is intended for children aged 4 to 7, and it takes place every Tuesday at 9:30 AM. The library promises funny, entertaining (and mostly educational) stories, followed by playful games. Bring your blankets, towels (or inflatables!) and good vibes. Children must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent, or guardian. In case of rain, Picnic Storytime will be postponed.
See you in the park by the playground!
