Our SPCA friends visited Cummings Park Library this week with some special guests – a puppy, a rabbit and a guinea pig. We learnt about the wonderful work of the SPCA and all about caring for animals and pets. Our librarian Alisha also shared some great animal stories. Thank you to everybody who came along, it was lovely to see you there!
Make sure you come along to the SPCA storytimes at
Tawa Library on Monday 14th April @10.30
and
Johnsonville Library on Tuesday 15th April @ 10.30am
Along with our usual storytime we are going to be visited by some cute and cuddly furry animals.
We will lean how to care for and look after our pets and we will also hear all about what the SPCA does.
See you there!
We’ve been filming some great stories at Kilbirnie Library’s storytime.
The books have been published by Gecko Press and are I am so strong and A Mammoth in the fridge.
