The Book Bug was sadly unable to attend the Welcome to Cowra event at Club Cowra today to read with some of our newest young residents, but she did leave a Book Bug Book Nook for them to read in. From all accounts, it was quite a success! Many happy readers took books home with them.

Why is the Book Bug sharing this post one might ask?

The answer would be that the Book Bug will be bringing its very own Book Nook to the Welcome to Cowra Event!!!!

Unfortunately, the Book Bug is unable to attend, but she wanted to provide a little reading nook for all the young people to sit in while they are there, with loads of books for them to take home and treasure.

Canowindra Preschool now permanently hosts its very own Book Bug Box, with thanks to educator Hayley Amos for keeping it full!

Thank you children and educators. I had such a wonderful time and look forward to sharing the experience again in the future 🐞🥰
