Come 'N' Try Story Box Library
Imagine if the best stories were read aloud to you by our favourite storytellers – well, that’s Story Box Library, a website where you can see celebrities reading children’s stories, just like a real story time! Come and try this fun way to enjoy stories at 11.30 a.m. on Wednesday, 10 and 17 April – you can bring your own tablet or use the library’s iPads or computer.
You can try it from home – go to www.wrlc.org.au, scroll down the left side and click the Story Box Library icon . If you have a WRLC library card you can log in using the number (U0000------); if you don’t already have a card, you can watch a teaser version of the story videos. Library membership is free, so visit us soon to get started! Our contact information and opening hours are listed below.

Edenhope Community Catch Up
Tuesday Morning Walking Group
Each Tuesday during term, there will be a walking group for all families of the kinder, playgroup and wider community to participate in. Leaving at 9:30am from the kindergarten car park, myself or one of our educators will join you for a walk around town. This will occur every Tuesday during kinder term. All abilities and fitness levels are welcome. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to build relationships with present and future families of the kindergarten.
We would love for you to join us.
