For the last day of our Wizard of Oz Storytime dress up theme children arrived as Lions, Witches and Fairies to enjoy being read a tale about a scarecrow and then doing the Dingle Dangle Scarecrow Dance, followed by craft where they made their own scarecrow to take home. It was all part of the lead up to the Orange Theatre Company’s performances of The Wizard of Oz as well as showing reading can be fun.  The winner of the lucky door prize for show tickets  was Kate File. Congratulations Kate! and thank you to everyone who came along, dressed up and followed the Yellow Brick Road into Storytime.

There was more Wizard of Oz dress ups with a variety of characters joining in Storytime today - we welcomed Tinmen, Dorothys & Totos, a wonderful Lion, Munchkins and more to the Library. Storyteller Fiona led the way with an interpretation of the Yellow Brick Road, a wonderful story about the colour yellow and then everyone joined in with the craft project.  It’s a great way to remind everyone to have fun reading and you can join in Storytime for preschoolers at 11am on Tues, Wed and Thurs (also at 2pm on Thursdays) during the school term. Don’t forget to book on 6393 8132.

We are off to see the Wizard….follow the yellow Brick Road into our Storytime space this week and you’re likely to meet munchkins, wizards, witches, tinmen, lions or scarecrows.  Children are dressing up for our Wizard of Oz Storytime theme. Storytime returns this week during the school term at 11am today Tuesday 30 April, Wednesday 1st May at 11am, and Thursday 2nd May at 11am and again at 2pm. If you would like to join in the fun, please book you place on 6393 8132. Storytime is for pre-school age children and their carers. The Wizard of Oz theme is inkeeping with the upcoming Orange Theatre Company’s performance of the The Wizard of Oz. Let’s go Toto…..follow the Yellow Brick Road ( I wonder what Storyteller Fiona dressed up as?)

Orange High School Yr 9 circus skills and gymnastics class won lots of fans this week when they performed at Orange City Library Storytime to support the Circus theme. Children dressed up as their favourite Circus characters with lots of clowns, acrobats and animals in the audience. Orange High teacher Anthony Wharton and student Sean demonstrated the diablo and the class showed everyone their juggling, acrobatic and gymnastics skills with lots of stunts. It was good fun. Thank you everyone for coming along.
