Kids enjoy German story time at Das Zentrum in Canberra

A small but eager group of youngsters came along to the Kinder-Lesestunde (German story time) at Das Zentrum this Saturday. They listened to a cute picture book story read by one of our volunteers and later joined in some playtime together.

Das Zentrum is planning to open up our library for story time once a month on the last Saturday of the month. We would love to see more children with German language background to come along.

And while you are there, check out our library! We have books for both kids and adults, so why not borrow something for Mum and Dad and the kids?
