Earlier today Nick and I had the pleasure and delight in witnessing 3 creative, energetic young performers engage and interact with 200 plus eager minds at Firth Primary School. Through song and drama Robin, Antonnia and Rowan delivered the message that kids love to read, public libraries are great places to be,are staffed by friendly people, are a free resource, and are still very much being used. A catchy saying: BRR- borrow,read, return simply outlined library ettiquette and left the children chanting 'borrow, read, return' on the way out of the hall.
The theatre promoted the idea of a visit reward card: visit the library 5 times, get your card stamped at each visit and receive a free book when card is filled. What a great concept!
This month is New Zealand book month. The slogan being used to promote the event is 'books change lives', a mantra Andrew Carneige will agree with. Libraries are a valuable asset to society. Could there be a better place to acquire a book for free than a public library?
