The children check-out a book from “Vikingeskibet.” Parent and child practice/read the book every day and return it the following Saturday. We hope to collect books for a broad range of ages, either from donations or school purchase. If you know of anyone wanting to donate books, CD's, DVD's, Danish games or other, please contact us.
