Thank you to our “stars” for taking part in National Simultaneous Storytime featuring Nick Bland’s story The Wrong Book about a a boy called Nicholas trying to tell his own story when an elephant, monster, pirate, Queen, rats and puppets interrupt.  It made Nicholas most upset. Much to the delight of the audience who called out with Nicholas everytime – “You are in the Wrong Book!” Congratulations Peter, Caleb, Bailey,  Maggie, William, Fiona and our guest storyteller Nicholas (aka library staffer Michael). Happy reading everyone!

Children (and some parents and carers) joined in the Circus Storytime theme last week and had lots of fun dressing up as their favourite circus performers. Dressing up as clowns, like Hayden and Liam pictured, was a popular choice. Just a reminder Storytime for pre-school age children and their parents and carers returns to Orange City Library during School Terms on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11am, and there is now an extra session on Thursdays at 2pm. Don’t forget to book your place before the session you wish to attend up to one week prior. Keep reading!

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.
