Learning to cook and discovering how enjoyable reading is instrumental in having a fulfilling life.

Vegreville Centennial Library offers a free Brunch and Books program for children from six to 12 on Monday’s morning from July 8 to August 12. This program gives children a chance to learn how to cook a breakfast meal as while as have stories read to them relating to the breakfast they made or from the book, “Pancakes to Parathas – Breakfast around the World” by Alice McGinty.

The second session on July 15 found the children learning how to create hash browns and egg nests. Library Programmer, Calina Sokalski and Library Summer Program Assistant, Rylan Langkow taught and helped the children make this breakfast meal.

While children waited for their meal to be cooked, they were given pictures of pancakes which they colored and drew on.

Sokalski said the children learn basic cooking skills and how to work as a team while cooking together.
