25.01.2022 'Jump' is a toy rabbit who inspires our pre-Storytime jumps and wriggles today, before going on a beach adventure! And our craft this week is the mighty pasta necklace. "Sam and Jump" is written and illustrated by Jennifer K. Mann, and published by Walker Books.

25.01.2022 Baby Business tells the story of a Darug baby smoking ceremony that welcomes baby to country. The smoke is a blessing it will protect the baby and remind them that they belong. This beautiful ritual is recounted in a way young children will completely relate to and is enhanced by gentle illustrations. Darug language words are integrated throughout. Central to this stunning story is a message of connection to Country and the need to care for it. Written and illustrated by Ja...smine Seymour and read by Bianca Hunt. You can listen to Baby Business for free through Story Box Library when you log in with your Library card! https://storyboxlibrary.com.au/stories/baby-business

23.01.2022 Beck and Matt Stanton are the authors of best-selling kids' titles like "This is a Ball" and "The Book that Never Ends".

You'll find them (through blurry, sleep-deprived eyes) in the favourites tub!

You can access up to 10 psychological counselling sessions free of charge within a calendar year. To access this service, you'll need a referral from a GP, including a mental health care plan.

17.01.2022 This week it is National Science Week! This means we get to showcase some super picture books about science, and instead of craft, there are kitchen science experiments to recreate at home. Today's book is Do Not Lick This Book, written by Idan Ben-Barak and illustrated by Julian Frost (plus some amazing microscope photos by Linnea Rundgren), published by Allen & Unwin. Join microbe Min and her friends as she visits a tooth, a shirt, and a bellybutton! If you are wanting the... facts behind the fiction or to do more research, Min is a an e-coli, Rae is a streptococcus, Dennis is a fungus and Jake is a corynebacterium. If you don't have the ingredients for the skittle experiment at home - feel free to pop into the library to collect an experiment kit which has everything you need plus a bonus activity!

This week it's Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Awareness (PANDA) Week, and while we'd have loved to host our usual morning tea at Storytime, 2020 had other plans for us. We'd love you to call in to the Library and grab a take-home pack of goodies for yourself and a friend, which includes a colouring page for your little one so you can (theoretically) enjoy a quiet cuppa. Take care of yourselves!
