Summertime Storytime at Cronulla Mall
Sutherland Shire Libraries
Just before Christmas, the friendly staff from Cronulla Library made an appearance in the mall with a very special Summertime Storytime.
Regular preschool and after school Storytimes are held at Sutherland Shire Libraries throughout school terms. At these hour long sessions we read stories, sing rhymes, watch a DVD and make a simple craft. To find out the Storytime Day at your closest Library see our Storytime page.
As the children gathered around the stage anticipating the fun they would have at Summertime Storytime; so did the STORM CLOUDS! But they had their own Christmas miracle - when we started to sing Jingle Bells, the rain stopped and the sun came out! Santa may have helped us out there as I am sure he was enjoying our singing from his throne that was located just behind us. The kids listened to a mix of beach and Christmas stories and particularly enjoyed the encore re-enactment of the book week award winning “Bear and Chook”. Bookatoo also made an appearance to wish all the boys and girls a Merry Christmas; with many hugs and hi fives in return. Debbie and Cheryl looked quite fetching in their Hawaiian inspired outfits and a good time was had by all.
