First of all I would like to thank you for your post because I really liked reading it! With the title you caught my attention in just one second, and I wanted to read what it was about.
I have also seen Matilda many, many times, and it is very impressive to see how a very little girl goes by herself to a library to take so many books to read them.
I have to say that I was also very lucky because both my parents and my older sister like to read, and they have passed this love to literature to me. In my case, my parents were the first ones that encourage me to read because when I was not able to do it by my own, they were the ones that read to me as many times as I wanted to hear the stories. (But just that you know, at the end they decided to buy the films because they were tired of doing it. Just joking )
Later on, I remember going with my older sister to a mobile library, a bus, every Thursday. I really enjoyed those times, because apart from enjoying the time reading, it was also a moment to share this hobby with my sister.
To finish with my comment, and related with what I just said, I also liked with what you told us about going to the library on Saturdays and playing games related with reading. I think that it is a great idea what they did there, and I hope these kind of things could develop in the future.

I like a lot your post. It has a really inspiring title. In my case, when a was a child, Matilda was also one of my favourite films. It was really surprising for me, to know that Roald Dahl (the author that my group and I investigated and presented) was the author of the book. I think that Matilda has great characteristics that can make her an attractive character for children, because she is sweet, adventurer, defenceless and even she has powers!
Some partners explained in their posts ideas related to the power that families have with children, that is, their relevance on developing a reading habit on kids. Concretely, you and your mother are a great example of these ideas. I think your visits to the library twice a week, were something fantastic. In this way, you show us that this is not something exclusive of schools and teachers. Not at all, it would be interesting that schools increase these kind of activities with their students.
Finally, I want to thank you for the library activities that you described to us so in detailed. I love both of them, specially the second one (The storytelling theatre) , where children can develop communicative skills, literature background, imagination and lose fears.
