It is with great joy that the Cochrane Public Library, in partnership with ACFA de Calgary, is launching a brand-new activity: a French Reading Circle for young children aged 12 and under!

Help bring stories to life and keep the French language thriving among young readers this fall! The activity will take place on the second Saturday of each month, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Here is the schedule for the sessions:

• Saturday, September 12

• Saturday, October 10

• Saturday, November 14

• Saturday, December 12

Your role as a volunteer: Warmly welcome children and their families, help facilitate (or even read stories if your heart desires!), and support the logistics to ensure this is a magical and welcoming experience. A good level of French is a valuable asset for this activity!

Whether you are available for just one Saturday or the entire session, your presence will make a real difference for Cochrane’s francophone and francophile community.
