There is a new star in the Rodney Libraries team. A bright yellow smiley one!
The Rodney Storytime Star character made it's first appearance at Warkworth storytime this morning to an excited reaction from it's young audience. The Star stayed long enough to enjoy a couple of dances and songs with the children, and shake a few hands before waving goodbye.
Rodney Libraries run storytime and rhymetime sessions around the district for pre-schoolers. They are a popular meeting place for children and their caregivers with the combination of stories, rhymes, fingerplays and action songs. We have several aims in running these sessions.
They are designed to support the development of language skills in the very young, provide a model for parents in how to engage their child in reading and literacy, and to instil a love of reading, books and libraries in those who attend.
You can find these storytimes around the district at these times:
