Cowra Library Staff are ready to supply customers with summer reading materials. Come in to the cool Library and dip into the pool filled with adventure stories, OR check out the digital media display offering music CDs, DVDs and audio books all with a Christmas or Summer theme.

Today we played carols to set the scene and I heard customers humming in (and out) of tune . The kids loved singing out loud! Their favourite was “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth “. The disc comes with the book which Maryanne read to them today.

Come in and pick up you Summer Reading Club pack.  This year’s theme is Adventure!

COWRA LIBRARIAN

Cowra had 15 children plus 7 parents at the most recent Storytime Session. The theme was ‘Bears’ and the children enjoyed the stories read by volunteer Marguerite. We also had a display for ‘Babywearing Week’ and read a couple of books showing safe ways to carry babies in slings etc. The children then made bear faces and a moving toy to suit the song ‘The Bear Went Over the Mountain’. Lots of fun for everyone! Come along to Storytime at Cowra Library on the first Thursday of the month at 11am. Call the Library on 6340 2180 to book your place.

Storytime for pre-schoolers returns for the new school term – Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11am from Tuesday 7th October. Please book your place up to one week before by calling the Library on 6393 8132.

Resident “Pirate Fi” Storyteller opened the treasure chest today to read aloud pirate and dress up inspired stories for pre-schoolers at this week’s themed Storytime. Research shows the more senses engaged during fun activities like Storytime – the more children learn. Today they enjoyed being read to and created their own tiaras or  “Books are my treasure” bookmarks. Thank you to everyone (carers and parents included) who dressed up and we welcome more Pirates and Princesses (and the odd fairy) on Thursday!
