Six coloured matts lie under a white cardboard tree with green and blue balloon leaves.

Surrounded by rows of books, children found their spot in front of the storyteller, library technician Kris Solowy.

In a top hat, whiskers and bunny nose, Solowy reads from a picture book.

On April 16, the Yellowknife Library hosted an Easter-themed read-a-long and craft session, which was attended by eight children and their parents.

SA国际影视传媒淲e might be doing some hopping so you may want to,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

Solowy led the group in a song to the tune of B-I-N-G-O but instead, B-U-N-N-Y.

The children oscillated between quiet listening, singing, hopping, and jumping up to browse the shelves.

The young families took pictures in front of the Easter display before moving to the boardroom for arts and crafts.

SA国际影视传媒淭hrough events like these we want to show children that the library is a wonderful place to be,SA国际影视传媒� said Solowy. SA国际影视传媒淲e hope to foster lifelong readers, lifelong learners, and put them onto a path where they love books.SA国际影视传媒�
