Storytime this month had a pet theme, with the young participants learning all about their favourite animals. 

Tuesday’s session started off with getting the small group up and about with the song If You’re Happy and You Know It followed by the first book of the day The Pets You Get. 

Next up was the song Old MacDonald Had a Farm, only this time around the words were changed to say he owned a pet shop. 

The library’s Jo Pianca then read the final book of the day, which had the children kicking back and relaxing while listening at the same time. 

The craft activity for this month was the colour in Old MacDonald’s pet shop and animals for sale. 

Along with the monthly storytime sessions, the event is now being held every Wednesday and Saturday. 

“Wednesday’s have been really popular … we’ve been getting around 40 or 50 there each week,” Mrs Pianca said. 

“It’s really good … we’ve also renamed our Saturday book chair to storytime so it’s all the same name and people recognise what it is.”

The library has also launched its brain games with the aim of keeping the mind fit, but also providing a social outlet for residents. 

The program is designed to exercise the mind through a series of simple activities that are designed to challenge the brain. 

Brain games will be held throughout March every Wednesday from 2pm to 3pm.
