Our neighborhood got a visit from MOLLY, the mobile library bus. I like this initiative by the National Library Board that makes borrowing books easier in places where there aren't public libraries nearby. It would probably take 25 minutes to get to the Jurong Regional Library, which is our closet library.
Although compact, the Molly mobile library bus offers similar experience as visiting the public libraries, with book borrowing and returning facilities and colorful shelves stocked full of books. Good to know that it is fully air-conditioned inside and is very kids friendly too as the books can be reachable at a child's height. The borrowing process is exactly the same as in the public library.
We borrowed 6 books and walked home to keep them first before we headed out again for the rest of the activities that were organized.
We first played some simple games at the multi-purpose hall before the committee started this story telling session in both English and Chinese. The story they told today was "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. It's awesome how they came prepared with the props, like the very cute caterpillar plushie and even a real caterpillar in a container! One child even got to keep and bring back the caterpillar to look after. The rest of us also received packets of chips.
Next, my girl went for the sandwich making session while I waited outside. After she's done, it was just in time for a quick snack break as well. Yummy egg butter sandwich.
The last activity of the day was the LEGO Toy Block Building Competition. This was what my girl built and everyone walked away with some prizes too. We won a cute watch band. Overall, a great day for my girl to spend her Saturday! Thanks to the committee for organizing!
XOXO
