The Ladybird Live roadshow, an exciting event for pre-school children, is visiting the North East in April in association with The Reading Agency, Northumberland Libraries, Darlington Libraries, Gateshead Libraries, South Tyneside Libraries and Stockton Libraries.
These fun events will include storytelling, facepainting and colouring activities, while there will be expert reading advice on hand, and the chance to win lots of prizes too. Littlies are invited to attend dressed as ladybirds – they should be easy to spot!
