News / Bessie’s back
BESSIE the PlayTalkRead bus returns to Shetland later this month with free storytelling and play activities for pre-school children and their parents.
The bus aims to encourage children and even babies to appreciate reading before they start school, and will bring resources for parents to take home.
Bessie will be parked between 10am and 4pm, with a one hour break at 1pm, outside:
• Lerwick library on Monday 22 September;
• The Old School, Mid Yell on Tuesday 23 September;
• Ness Boating Club, Virkie, on Wednesday 24 September;
• Walls public hall on Thursday 25 September; and
• Urafirth primary school on Friday 26 September.
