Registered visitors are asked to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to secure their spots. The listing says a limited number of drop-in spaces will be offered before the event on a first-come basis. That is an alternative for some visitors, not a guarantee that a family arriving without registration can get in.<\/p>\n

Later that day, illustrator-in-residence Ruth Ohi leads Draw with Ruth Ohi<\/a> from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Using her books Blanket, Scribble and Fox and Squirrel, Ohi will demonstrate how a scribble can grow into a story before children create their own. The library identifies this as a school-age session and says registration is required.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, November 8, Make a Scene with Julien Chung<\/a> runs from 1 to 2 p.m. The workshop combines words with hand-drawn illustrations to create a picture-book-style story. The listing says it is ideal for children aged six to eight, with an opportunity afterwards to present their work on the Storyteller Stage.<\/p>\n

The library advertises a free book for every attendee of Chung’s session, courtesy of The Children’s Book Bank. That offer belongs to this workshop; it should not be taken as a promise of a free book at every festival activity.<\/p>\n

Check registration before travelling<\/p>\n

Both drawing workshops repeat the request for registered participants to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early, with only limited first-come drop-in spaces. Their pages carry registration links; check the current booking screen for availability before setting out.<\/p>\n

For families choosing a FOLD Kids festival outing, the three listings offer different starting points: a morning celebration, an illustrator’s drawing demonstration or a hands-on storytelling workshop. None requires a child to arrive with a finished story. Confirm the session’s age guidance and practical arrangements with the library if you need more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Registered visitors are asked to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to secure their spots.
