About
The Maurice Genevoix library invites children aged 4 to 9 to immerse themselves in the world of children's literature through live storytelling sessions. Held on Saturday mornings, these meetings allow participants to discover a selection of picture books chosen by librarians to stimulate imagination and curiosity. It is an ideal opportunity to share stories and explore diverse worlds in a friendly atmosphere. Participation is completely free, and the venue is fully accessible to wheelchair users and children with cognitive disabilities. A literary break to dream, explore, and grow, one page at a time.
Graine de livres Grands – from age 4
Want to discover beautiful stories, laugh, dream, and travel through children's picture books? Join us for a reading session specially designed for children.
At each session, children's librarians share their favorites and invite you to explore varied worlds, populated by endearing characters, adventures, emotions, and discoveries. Stories come to life through read-aloud sessions in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Throughout the seasons, discover themes that spark the imagination and nourish curiosity. In September, friendship will be in the spotlight. In October, make way for flamboyant colors and the wonders of autumn. Other surprises will await you throughout the year, depending on the books selected by the team.
A great opportunity to share the pleasure of books, meet other children, and grow your imagination.
Stories to grow, dream, and explore the world, one page at a time.
