From the library
Beanstack Challenge – 1000 Books
Reading is a very important part of early childhood development. In conjunction with Beanstack, the library wants to help you and your children get into the reading habit. The 1000 books challenge is aimed at preschool children from 0 – 6 years and helps build social and emotional skills, spark creativity and imagination, promotes bonding with family members and helps children do well overall in school.
The goal of the challenge is to make reading aloud part of your family’s regular routine – 1000 is just a number. You can join the challenge online or on paper and receive rewards for reaching milestones. Library membership isn’t required to join, but the library staff would love to have you join the library and make use of their resources.
Café Books is back!
From the 14th of May Café books returned to the library. Meetings will take place every fortnight on Saturdays at 10.30 am to have a chat over a cuppa, and check out a stack of shiny new library books. No registration is needed.
