Library Storytelling Morning activity for June 2014
Come to the “telebration” with us! Monthly Saturday morning meetings from October to June where kids can enjoy selected stories in English, this time with Trisha and Alito as storytellers.
Recommended for children between the ages of 4 – 8. Forty children per session and two adults per child maximum. 45 minutes approx.
Now in collaboration with American Space Madrid it's a free activity!
Library members gain privileged access, with the classic optional 2 x 1 registration (this means each child with a library card can bring one guest). They will need to send an email to library@iie.es confirming their participation in the activity any time from the first day of the month and up to the week before the Storytelling morning. On the day of the session they will need to show their library card.
Non-members who want to participate also have to send an e-mail to library@iie.es as registration that will be confirmed once we know the spaces left by the library members.
If at some point the number of members registered reaches the maximum capacity limit we will announce that tickets are sold out through the IIE Facebook page.
