ALL WEEK, Storytimes in Salford’s libraries
Salford’s Libraries welcome everyone at Storytimes with an international flavour during Refugee Week.
Ask at your local library or visit www.salford.gov.uk/libraries for more info for details of what’s on when!
PLUS
Join one of Salford Libraries’ Reading Groups in June to read Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah. This tells the story of Alem, a young boy with an Ethiopian father and Eritrean mother. Both countries are at war so he is not welcome in either place. This powerful novel will raise some really thought-provoking issues.
For details of groups, when and where they meet please contact Sarah Coyne on 0161 778 0887.
