Each Peach Pear Plum’ is a classic picture book and was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1979. A playful and poetic read, the rhymed text and illustrations invite the reader to play ‘I spy’ introducing the very youngest of readers to a variety of Mother Goose and other folklore characters.

As part of Family Literacy Week, our ED, Asha Dixit, participated in the Montreal Children’s Hospital pediatric grand rounds to promote early literacy, contributing to a lively discussion and reiterating the significance of parents reading to children from birth benefiting their overall well-being. Congratulations to MCH’s Lire/Imagine/Read for a successful Family Literacy Day celebration.
It wouldn’t be Family Literacy Day without a special storytime reading event! Everyone had so much fun! Thanks to River’s Edge Daycare for hosting us.
👏🤩 Congratulations to our latest volunteer of the month, Grace, who has been a valuable volunteer assisting in our library. Here’s what she had to say about her volunteer experience:
” Volunteering with minibiblioPLUS has shown me that any spare time that you’re able to give back can actually have a positive impact on a person’s life. I appreciate being able to see and share a love for reading with many young and older readers! The wonderful staff has also helped me discover new ways of being creative and to enjoy the moment. I’m so grateful to be a part of minibiblioPLUS.”
🤩 Thank you to Gracia Kasoki Katahwa – Mayor of CDN NDG for bringing the joy of books and reading to the children of Garderie Vendôme this morning. The children especially liked reading “You have a bird on your head!” by Mo Wilems. A beautiful storytime not to be forgotten! 🤩
Our book of the month for October is “The Rolling Pumpkin” by Junia Wonders, for children ages 2 to 5. A little girl chases her giant pumpkin all over town. This is the perfect story to read with your little pumpkin. To complement your reading with educational and fun activities, simply click on the photo to access the resources.

Congratulations to our latest volunteer of the month. Here’s what they had to say:
“Reading the kids books out loud is a lot of fun! Knowing a kid will remember my work for some years to come and maybe teach other kids the love for reading, is extra rewarding.”
In collaboration with Benny Library |
| Over the Summer, we launched the “Storytime in the Park” project in collaboration with Benny Library. We facilitated storytime sessions in 5 different parks in CDN-NDG. This project was highly successful, with 226 children attending, demonstrating a need for literacy-related outdoor activity in the community. We look forward to continuing this project next Summer.
