"Sábados a Contar" is a recurring storytelling initiative presented by the Almeida Garrett Municipal Library. Designed to foster a love for reading and narrative among younger audiences, these sessions feature professional storytellers who interpret traditional and contemporary children's stories. The program aims to provide a cultural and educational activity for families on weekend mornings.
Attendees can expect an engaging and interactive session, typically lasting around 45-60 minutes. The stories are presented in Portuguese, making it suitable for local families and those familiar with the language. The library's dedicated children's section provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for the young listeners and their accompanying adults.
Entry to "Sábados a Contar" is free, though capacity may be limited. The Almeida Garrett Municipal Library is located within the Palácio de Cristal gardens, accessible via several bus routes (e.g., 200, 201, 207, 501, 507, 601) with stops nearby. It is also a walkable distance from the Carolina Michaelis metro station (approx. 15-20 minutes). The venue is generally accessible for strollers.
