This week is Family Literacy Week. It's a great time to celebrate literacy through everyday activities we do at home.

Families play a huge role in developing literacy skills with our students. Be sure to take part in some of the activities, take a picture and bring it into the library. I will put up all the pictures to celebrate learning together.
Some ideas for fun with family literacy include:
- Baking a recipe together
- playing a card game or board game
- reading the signs on the street en route to an activity
- taking 20 minutes to have family 'free reading' time
- reading a story together no matter how old you are :)
- creating a 'to do' list together
- working on a 'kids budget'
- reading food packages to determine 'healthy living' ingredients
Be sure to enjoy some family literacy time this week, drop off a picture or write me a note about what you have done and your name will go into the draw for a prize.
We are also continuing with our mystery person clues. So far no one has figured out 'Who am I'. Search for the answer with your family and write it down. Drop your answer off in the library for the chance to win a prize. Here are the clues. Each day I add one more clue.
Mystery clue #4 Who am I? I was a developer in the city. Did you know all parks on Protection Island have pirate themed names. That's because of me. Check out Pirates Park.
Mystery clue #2 Who am I?
I have been mayor of our fine city and I love dressing up as a pirate for city events.
Mystery clue #1 Who am I?
Did you know Nanaimo has more than 588 hectares of City parks, over 100 kilometres of trails and 65 playgrounds? That doesn't include the 22 sports fields in our Harbour City. (source: City of Nanaimo)
I can be found in one of our many parks
If you have the answer come to the library and see me.
