Stories & iPad fun at the library

cvi   Libraries across the Clarence Valley have a range of activities planned for the rest of the school holidays. Ghost Jam! is a fun and interactive storytelling performance coming to Grafton and Maclean libraries this month. Fresh from the Sydney Fringe Festival, performer Sean Murphy will entertain parents and kids with spooky storytelling on Thursday, January 12. The family comedy performance will be followed by a storytelling workshop for kids aged 5-12yrs. This hands-on experience will have teams of kids compete to create an original ghost story. iPad moviemaking sessions will focus on nature’s heroes and villains at all the libraries. Run by the local Hands on Nature team, these sessions are aimed at kids aged 6+. iPads will be provided for use in the library. If you have a favourite superhero, book into a session to collage your favourite character or come into Grafton and play Lego Marvel Super Heroes on the library’s Xbox or PS4. The libraries will also celebrate local heroes during this bushfire season. Join larger-than-life Bernie Cinders for a storytime with a fiery theme.
