READING Libraries will host a nationally acclaimed drag queen for an interactive story time event.
Aida H Dee, the storytime drag queen, will be hosting a series of events as part of their summer tour, including a number of libraries across Reading.
Drag Queen Story Hour UK is an established children’s entertainment troupe, which sees drag performers travelling around the country holding free interactive shows for children.
The events aim to promote diversity and acceptance of others, as well as encourage families to visit and use libraries, take up reading, and promote the art of storytelling.
Aida H Dee is an advocate for neurodivergence, a published author, and a patron of Autistic Inclusive Meets London, which supports families and individuals with autism.
The shows are part of an ongoing programme of diverse events provided by Reading Borough Council, and are suitable for younger and family audiences.
The free story hour sessions will be on offer on Monday, July 25, at Central Library at 10.30am, and Tilehurst Library at 2pm.
Further free sessions will take place on Tuesday, July 26, at Whitley Library at 10.30am, and at Southcote Library at 2pm.
