The Children's Book and Film Festival, a cultural festival for children in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, will be held from 15 to 21 February. This week there will be a special focus on books and films and on creative and entertaining activities related to both. The aim of the festival is to foster children's interest in reading and literacy in the broadest sense, and the festival will support the literacy projects of the town's nursery and primary schools that have been running for the past few terms.<\/p>\n
The cultural festival is held in close cooperation between the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Public Library, primary schools, nurseries, the town cinema and other partners. The festival's stated aim is to encourage children of all ages to actively participate in constructive and interesting literacy and cultural projects and events during the festival.\u00a0 This is the first time such a festival has been held in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, and it is hoped that it will become an annual festival where children, books and film are in the spotlight.<\/p>\n
In the town's nurseries, there will be a strong emphasis on books, stories, reading and listening over the coming days.\u00a0The finals of the Great Reading Competition will be held in the town's primary schools, where parents of Year 7 pupils are invited to listen to the reading and presentation skills of the students. An exhibition of Ragnhildur J\u00f3hannsd\u00f3ttir's work is currently on display at Hafnarborg. In her work, Ragnhildur focuses on language, seeking to create visual poems in the form of sculptures, collages and drawings. School groups from nursery and primary schools can book a special visit and receive a guided tour of the exhibition.\u00a0The Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Museum of Local History invites school groups to visit on weekdays for a special exhibition on the history of cinemas in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and the museum's other permanent exhibitions. Bookings through the Museum of Local History. At the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Library, a varied programme of events will be running throughout:<\/p>\n
As always, the library welcomes school groups from nurseries and primary schools for story time or a library tour. Bookings must be made with the library.<\/p>\n
