UNBELIEVABLE!!!! 🤩🥳🤩🥳🤩🥳

Would you believe that during Term 3 School Holidays, our local businesses helped The Book Bug distribute 420 children's book throughout our community? What an amazing achievement. 🏆 If this isn't an example of a village helping to raising children, then I don't know what it.

In the past 11 months, 1804 books have been donated by generous individuals, then redistributed by locals, into the eagerly waiting hands of our children - our future

Is it Term 3 holidays already??

The Book Bug has been out and about chatting with old friends and delivering more Book Bug Boxes to keep our youngsters entertained throughout the holidays.

Be sure to stop by these local businesses and collect FREE books for your children. :-)

PS Businesses - if you have not yet received your Book Bug Box, it is on its way! The Book Bug is just trying to catch her tail at the moment, sorry.

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.

The Book Bug has been out and about in Canowindra, having the opportunity to read and share books with its Preschool children.

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 🐞🥰
