Kids can explore new books and ideas through traditional folk tales, fairy tales and art at
the Foundry Art Centre's Children's Book Club.
The club meets the first Saturday of the month October through April. Kids will read each the book selected for the month, discuss the story and share their opinions while filling out a Passport to Reading activity book.
