Raising Readers with The Tamar Valley Writers Festival

Join us for a special family event at Launceston Library, proudly presented in partnership with the Tamar Valley Writers Festival.
Hear from a variety of engaging speakers and professionals on how to nurture a love of reading in the young person in your life - whether you're a parent, a grandparent, or carer. Reading is crucial, not only for how we engage with the world, but reading for pleasure is associated with higher emotional empathy, increased capacity for problem solving and the development of critical thinking skills.
Plus, it's fun!
This free community event is presented by the Tamar Valley Writers Festival, in partnership with our friends at Rosie's Reading and the Launceston Library. Hear from experts including a speech pathologist about how to spark the love of reading in your little one's life. The event will also feature a reading from celebrated children's author Mark MacLeod and include a chance to engage with some children's titles with Petrarch's Bookshop.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to spark your child's love for reading!
