Between January 24 and February 3, “De Nationale Voorleesdagen” was celebrated across the Netherlands, to stimulate reading to children aged 0 to 6. Central to this is the Dutch “picture book of the year” Help! Een verrassing! by Miriam Bos.
In Eindhoven, a collaboration between different language groups and the library allowed for a fantastic display of inclusion and diversity! Pictures are now available from the 10-day multilingual event series that took place at Eindhoven Library's central location! See full event description and schedule
Thank you to all of the participating language groups for making this possible, as well as the families who attended, the Eindhoven Library, and Eindhoven municipality. We extend a special thank you to volunteer Chikako who helped organize the event.
