Book Week is going to the dogs! From Hairy Maclary to Harry the Dirty Dog, Snoopy to Old Yeller, some of the best-loved stories show you what you already know: that dogs deserve a starring role in your lives.
Dress up as your favourite book characters, bring a blanket and something to read, or simply join in with your furry friends for a pawsome morning of tales and tails!
Here's how the story unfolds:
Dear dog: The furbulous Ms Constance Spry's Letter Writing Service will be in the park, turning stories about your pooch into beautifully typed letters with their unmistakable secretarial style.
Books in trees: Haig Park becomes an outdoor bookshelf, with books in trees for you to find and keep.
Give a good book a new leash on life: Bring along a book you've finished and swap it for another story to take home.
Once upon a pawtrait: Put your dog front and centre in the Book Week photo booth and snap a picture worthy of the front cover. Come in costume or just bring your main character energy.
Piano tails: Wayne Kelly is back at the keys to warm up your Sunday morning.
The market chapter: Keep the story going with a wander through the Haig Park Village Markets.
