Story Time!
Jess Grace and her two year old daughter Bella Bryan (pictured) enjoy coming to the library and borrowing books. ‘Story Time is a great way for children to have social interaction and it’s an opportunity to borrow books for the week to read at home,’ said Jess. Photo supplied.
Story Time is back again at the Deloraine and Westbury Libraries.
Term 3 will see Story Time restart at Deloraine on Monday mornings at the new time of 11am. Westbury Library Story Time is also on a Monday at the usual time of 1pm.
These sessions run for about 30 minutes and include stories, songs and rhymes for preschoolers aged from birth to four years.
Reading to children is so important. Through songs and rhymes they learn key skills that will help them become good readers and writers. Stories teach children new words and help them to increase their vocabulary.
And it’s lots of fun!
Joining the library is free. Libraries Tasmania have specially developed book packs for preschoolers that make it quick and easy to borrow age appropriate books.
Or have some fun selecting stories from the book tubs!
Over the years many families have made Monday their library day in Deloraine.
Deloraine Library is looking forward to welcoming back families who have attended in the past and new families who would like to join in the fun.
All enquiries are welcome by dropping into, or calling Deloraine Library on 6701 2180 or Westbury Library on 6701 2189.
Term 3 runs from 26 July to 20 September.
