Is your child a bookworm
in the making?
We invite you to bring them to the Nooker Nippers, our after-school book club for 6-8-year-olds.
Each month, we’ll choose an age-appropriate book for the group to read.
Lisa Haymes will oversee our monthly meetups for the kids to chat about the book.
How to join:
Pop into the store and buy the book, and we’ll take your details.
A parent or guardian is required to come along.
