Set sail on a story trail
- 18
- Aug
Grab a map, follow the clues and explore Islington: until August 29
Do you want to head out into the outdoors and uncover lost stories and voices? Visit Finsbury Library or Lewis Carroll Children’s Library in Islington to pick up a free map and head on a story trail around the borough during the summer holidays! Based on When Secrets Set Sail by best-selling author Sita Brahmachari, families are encouraged to head on a quest and follow a string of clues to explore Islington’s secrets and discover the magic of stories.
This is a great activity for parents or carers with children over five who are transitioning between primary and secondary school, helping to support their reading and wellbeing during the summer holidays.
Download your trail map or visit Finsbury or Lewis Carroll Library to collect a printed copy.
