Collection Survey
Thank you to everyone who responded to the Collection Survey this past month. I will review the responses and respond to you all.
Storytime will not be returning for a while, but you have free access to Story Box
Use it as a bedtime tale, a facilitator for discussion in the classroom, a complement to library Storytime, or a read aloud model – the choice is yours. No matter what the reason for your visit to Story Box Library, we help children journey to that most uniquely precious place, the wilds of their own imagination.
Our stories have been selected with children of pre-school and primary age in mind. Stories have been broken down into the following categories: Pre-school (3 – 5 years); Lower Primary (5 – 7 years); Middle Primary (8 – 10 years) and Upper Primary (10 – 12 years).
Access is available using your library membership via https://grenfellpubliclibrary.org.au/elibrary/
