Story Box Library is another resource offered by Macquarie Regional Library, available to use on your home computer, ipad and iphone or in the library through the library’s website. Story Box Library is an educational website, created for children to view and listen to stories being read by authors and illustrators. Reading aloud to children, in particular by diverse and engaging storytellers, greatly improves language and literacy skills, especially in the early years of a child’s development. Sadly, studies show that many children are not read to frequently enough. To take advantage of this wonderful resource, become a member of the library today.
What’s New
Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend: Morrigan Crow is cursed. Born on an unlucky day, she is blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks – and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on Eventide. This book is just one of many that the library holds that is on the Premier’s Reading List which is released as part of The Premier’s Reading Challenge. The challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students, and to enable them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to each student to read, read, read. The challenge starts in March and runs through to the end of August.
