Chester Library - teddy bear's picnic

Monday 16th August
Mr Bookstart Bear had a lovely afternoon down by the river. Over 100 parents and children brought their own picnics and teddies, and joined us for stories and rhymes on a lovely sunny afternoon. He even made a new friend - Bearemy from Build a Bear!

Playdays at Winsford on 4th August and Frodsham on 5th August

The bear had a great time at these fabulous, free events, which were open to children of all ages.
