The Paperback Exchange will be hosting a children's story hour on the first and third Saturdays of every month - the first Saturday will be appropriate for 4-6 year olds, while the third Saturday will be for 6-8 year olds. The story hours are from 10 to 11am and will be free. I'm unsure whether a reservation will be recommended, so for more information you can call 055-293460.
The events are in collaboration with FITC (Florence International Theatre Company) Creative Campus. Study abroad students will read to the children in English - with a focus on " vocabulary building, comprehension... and fun!". The first reading, on March 3rd for 4-6 year olds, will be The Giving Tree
by Shel Silverstein. The second book, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by William Steig, will be read to 6-8 year olds on March 17th.The Paperback Exchange's last children's event was a great success, so we expect this one to be lots of fun too. Ellen
