It's Library week - a chance to celebrate libraries and librarians all over the country. It's not all about us though - we're doing some things for the kids...They'll be reading 'Mr Muggs The Library Cat' - a purrfect tail for children about a cat who lives in a library. Come and join the fun!
On Friday at 3.45pm Kumeu Library will be hosting Starfish Magic with their presentation of “The Pied Popstar”. The show features dancing, singing, cool costumes and live music and promise to be lots of fun for children aged 3 - 10 and their families. The session is free and you don’t need to register in advance to attend, just turn up on the day.
On Saturday as part of the Storylines Festival, workshops for children on story writing and illustrating are being held at Whangaparaoa Library.
The workshops are targeted at 8 – 16 year olds and are an opportunity for young people to develop story writing and illustrating skills. Participants will have the chance to work with noted New Zealand children's and authors and illustrators.
