That’s why we have made a selection of the cutest activities to do together with your daughter or son. Which one do you choose?
Children’s House Library
In the Cinecittà Est neighborhood we find this library for children and teenagers opened in 2002 and renovated in 2022. The environment is large, a good 290 square meters, and contains about 16,000 documents inside. The nice thing about the Children’s House is that you find an area aimed at parents, teachers, and students in the children’s sector. Then, in one room, workshops or art activities are held for children and parents. Meetings dedicated to the Born to Read Program or aimed at expectant and new parents are hosted in the library on a regular basis.
It is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. It is located at 153 Libero Leonardi Street.
