Story Explorers

Story Explorers is a project that aims to engage local families in stories. Through a series of workshops, we are working together to develop and co-create a legacy of resources and activities that are aimed at children and families as well as early-year settings and professionals in the sector.

Our aim is to encourage more families to visit their local library and activities have been designed to promote reading for pleasure, encourage creativity and support the development of reading and literacy skills.
