Bookstart Birthday Party
Bookstart in Bridgend is 10 years old. Over 20,000 Bookstart bags with free books have been given to the parents of babies and toddlers when they attend clinics for health checks. This successful partnership between Bridgend Library Service and health visitors was celebrated with a party at Pyle Life Centre.
Children from Sarn, Pontycymer and CaerauNursery schools attended and were treated to a puppet show, mask making, and stories. After the party food, the children sang happy birthday to the Bookstart Bear and went home with a goodie bag.
