Mallacoota Service Centre recently resumed its much-anticipated Storytime sessions, and it exceeded all expectations with a whopping 16 children and seven parents attending for a day of crocodile-themed books and activities, including a reading of Huw Lewis-Jones' book Croc O’Clock, a rendition of Never Smile at a Crocodile, and crocodile puppet-making class.

Storytime sessions are for children aged 2 to 5. The sessions run for 45 minutes and include stories, songs, dancing, poems and rhymes and craft activities.

Storytime:

·       Encourages children to develop a love of reading, books and libraries at a young age.

·       Stimulates imagination, ideas and interests.

·       Teaches effective listening skills.

·       Helps develop pre-reading skills.

·       Introduces the library as a fun, inviting place to be for children and parents.

·       Promotes awareness of library resources.

·       Provides opportunities to socialise with other children and caregivers, and have fun.

Storytime in Mallacoota runs every Thursday, 2.30pm-3.15pm.
