Hello, I need some informations about children’s big reading promotion events. Does your French Libraries ( public) conduct big events for children, consisted with encounter with authors, story tellers and illustrators and other very fun events with lots of booths and tents? Or some similar fun events like these? I would love to visit to enjoy. Thank you. If it happens near Paris, it will be great, but it doen’t matter which part of your country. I live in overseas, so please excuse me to write in English, not in French.
