Storysacks
For younger children
Storysacks are available on request for use in the library by parents and teachers with small groups for storytime.
Storysacks are about making books fun and bringing stories to life. For use in the library, a storysack is a cloth bag full of story books and soft toys to encourage children and adults to read together.
Each sack is based on a well known picture story book and is supported by a fact book on a similar theme. To encourage role play, soft toy characters, props and scenery are added. The sack is then completed by a game, CD of the story, activity guide and Parent Guide written by Neil Griffiths.

No Room for Baby Roo.
Baby Roo's mum's pouch was the most comfy and cosy in the world. It was so comfy that he decided to tell all his friends and that's when the trouble began!
The Scarecrow Who Couldn't Scare
Farmer Wallace made a wonderful scarecrow to protect his crops, but when the scarecrow failed to scare away birds and animals, the farmer threw
him away into the hedgerow. However, the following year things had changed! A delightful scarecrow story which explores seasonal changes, the growing cycle and issues of self-esteem.
