Storytime with Hannah

Our Hannah has been keeping everyone entertained with her wonderful online "Storytime with Hannah" while we were not able to run pre-school sessions in the library. These are on the Library's Facebook page every Thursday at 10am until we resume our inhouse programme. Click on the links for a ka pai story and sometimes a sing-a-long too.
