A Book for Our Library
From Care to Creation
For Ages 6-9
Facilitator
Have you ever heard of a book with no ending?
We’re making one together, and it’s going straight into the BIC Children’s Library!
This Sunday we’re going to find out all about looking after books, the strangest books ever made, and creating a one-of-a-kind book authored by everyone, including you!
Bonus: Bring a book that needs fixing and we’ll help you rescue it. All other materials provided.
Around the World in 50 Sundays is a journey that begins, not with a ticket, but with opening a book. In a city like Bangalore where families are always in motion, the BIC Library hopes to offer stillness and a quiet, welcoming space for both parents and children where reading becomes a shared way of being and not a task.
Every Sunday, we open our doors to invite you into a library that listens; building a rhythm of return, a habit of joy and a new community bound not just by books, but by the weekly ritual of reading together.
