Fiadh Kelly at the Teddy Bear’s Picnic at Ardee Library
It was a very successful morning at Ardee Library this past Saturday, with a full house of eager children ready for the “Teddy Bear’s Picnic” event. The library was filled with laughter and enthusiasm as local families joined in for a memorable morning of reading and activity.
A Magical Morning
Librarian Amy did a fantastic job throughout the session, captivating the audience with the reading of three wonderful teddy bear-related stories. The interaction didn’t stop at the books; Amy had the children involved every step of the way with lively sing-alongs and engaging dance moves that kept everyone on their feet.
To finish off a brilliant morning, the kids were invited to get creative, decorating paper cups and saucers supplied by Ardee Library—a perfect craft to cap off the picnic-themed event.
Missed the fun?
This event highlighted the library’s ongoing commitment to fostering a love of reading and community engagement. For details on upcoming events, feel free to call Ardee Library at 041 6859023.
