This Saturday, 16th May, the amazing Paula David from Rebel Tales Theatre will be at our Woking Library!
Paula will be performing an interactive show for 5 to 9 years olds which will invite children to help decipher clues, find stories in the "Heart Library", and much more!
The performance will be followed by a fun workshop, where the children will be invited to design a book cover that says something about themselves, or a character in a book they love, or a subject they love.
Get the ticket for your family via our Eventbrite - please see the link in the bio or search for "Surrey Libraries Eventbrite" in your browser.

"If we don’t talk about death and dying and bereavement, it can be harder to cope when we experience it."
Talking about dying matters. Death, dying, and grief affect us all. Our books are here to support you and help you talk.
The display in the image, in our @woking_library , was created in response to a current exhibition "Everything We Love We Will Lose" by artist duo YARA + DAVINA at the Lightbox Gallery @thelightboxwoking in Woking.
The display contains books that touch on the theme of loss.
The exhibition explores themes of grief, loss and bereavement, including personal experiences of pregnancy loss. It runs from 18 April to 5 July.
