Kia ora koutou

Mānawatia a Matariki! Your friends in the Children’s Library Team hope this īmera finds you well. We have had a lovely time celebrating the new year with so many of you during June. We are looking forward to serving even more of you in the July School Holidays, with our Cosy Times holiday programme. We have story time and craft sessions, Codey Rocky robots, photography workshops, and new adventures in stop motion for your kids, and their toy friends too.

Some events are RSVP-required with limited numbers – you can reply to this email to RSVP, stating session dates/times - and all are in-person. If you live in the Porirua area and wish to bring a large group to any of the open entry events, please let us know at least a week in advance, as we may be able to arrange a separate session for you. We are unable to serve large groups from outside the Porirua area. A poster/double-sided programme we’d love you to help us display about town is attached. Please feel welcome to share this information with your newsletters and networks. As usual, all these events are free of charge. Follow the Porirua Libraries facebook Children’s Chat Group – https://www.facebook.com/groups/213340895915731 - for daily updates about what’s going on, or check out our website - https://porirualibrary.org.nz/whats-on/school-holiday-programme-2022/ - for current happenings. Given the changing nature of these COVID-19 times, we reserve the right to cancel at short notice if we reluctantly have to.

In the meantime… remember Story World is back on Wednesdays during term time at the new time of 10.30AM.

And an exciting heads-up for the new term - Baby Band will return on Thursdays at 10.30AM! Tell all ngā pēpē!

It's been great to see more of you returning to the library over the past term, and we are looking forward to spending a busy, buzzing July School Holidays with you. Until then – stay safe and cosy out there.
