Next week Waverley Library Children’s Team are exploring our backyards and discovering the wonderful world of bugs and insects. We have also created craft packs for you and your children to enjoy and have been inspired by stories by Aura Parker such as Twig, and Cocoon and Heads and Tails: Insects by John Canty, all of which can be viewed for free through Story Box Library online.

If you are interested in one of our craft packs, come into the children’s library during opening hours and ask one of our friendly staff at the desk. You might also like to pick up an insect themed book from our display to borrow and take home. If you would prefer to Grab n Go simply email and we will place a craft pack and a suggested book title aside for you to collect.
