Children will be encouraged to participate in virtual scavenger hunts – remote games where players scramble to find items or fulfil challenges before time runs out.
The programme includes 12 sessions, two per month, starting on Saturday 2 October 2021 at 10 am and 11 am.
The first session is a story hunt travel adventure taking children deep into the ‘Enchanted Forest’.
Following sessions run at 10 am and 11 am on:
13 November – Pirates
11 December – Mystery Theme
8 January – Space
12 February – Music
5 March – World Book Day

Councillor Sarah Ferriby, Healthy People and Places Portfolio Holder, said: “These fun virtual storytelling sessions will be a great way to start an adventure online, and now that Bradford Libraries are open, they can continue inside any of our libraries.
“Interactive storytelling sessions are a great way to stimulate young minds and provide an important stimulus for children’s development so we hope families will make the most of them.”
John Kirk specialises in working with young people across Britain’s libraries, schools, museums and art galleries.
