Story times

Children just love to hear stories and there is no better way to hear them than at the many different free live sessions around the city. Every week our local storytellers spin a yarn on different themes sure to inspire and delight children of all ages. The University Book Shop has an open invitation to rediscover the magic in their new Children’s Room, the Dunedin Botanic Garden has begun telling tales, and Toitu Otago Settlers Museum reveals a museum full of stories and song. Preschool storytimes are also on offer weekly at the many public libraries, with the added bonus of a professional storyteller featuring at the City Library “Once Upon a Sunday”. Storytelling is a great way to capture a child’s imagination and harness creativity, while enhancing a child’s listening skills. Hip ray for stories!
