This week is Refugee Week, an annual festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees'. The theme is 'compassion'. A refugee is 'a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution or natural disaster'.
We are inviting you to do one simple act - read a book about refugees and start a discussion.Reading is a great way to walk in someone else's shoes and build up empathy for their situation.
The Library has a wonderful selection of books for you to choose from and you may like to check out the list of 40 children's books to raise awareness for Refugee Week 20-26 June on the LoveReading4Kids website.
