Attention young animal lovers – the SPCA will be visiting our Preschool Storytimes over the next few weeks, and bringing along their furry friends for your preschoolers to interact with.

Along with our usual stories, songs and rhymes, the SPCA will talk to the children about ethical pet ownership, how to appraoch and greet animals, and about the SPCA. In the past these storytimes have been very popular as the children love the chance to meet and pet the animals.

Here’s the when and where:

• Wednesday 2nd April, Newtown Library at 10.30am
• Thursday 3rd April, Miramar Library at 10.15am
• Monday 7th April, Karori Library at 10.30am
• Monday 14h April, Mervyn Kemp (Tawa) Library at 10.30am
• Tuesday 15th April, Johnsonville Library at 10.30am
• Wednesday 16th April, Cummings Park (Ngaio) Library at 10.30am

Preschool storytimes are our free weekly sessions for 3-4 year olds, that feature stories, songs and rhymes. They are perfect for helping emerging literacy and getting children ready for school. Younger and older children are welcome too. Check out our Kids Events Page for details.

(Note: Wellington City Libraries takes no responsibility for your children demanding to take the animals home, or to get a pet)
