Wellington
City Libraries, Hutt City Libraries and Upper Hutt City Library have been
organising an exciting children’s and youth literary festival called Beyond the
Page. This festival opens on the 8th of July and will take place
over the two weeks of the July school holidays (8-23 July 2017), in over 24
venues in the Wellington region. Beyond
the Page will lead children and young people on a journey through different
aspects of storytelling, creating experiences for them to immerse themselves in
and express their creativity.
The
festival is aimed at the 53,000 children and young people aged five to 18 in
the Greater Wellington region. The purpose of this festival is to embrace all
literacies including digital literacy and to enhance these experiences for both
children and youth across the region. We plan to do this by offering them the
tools, people and spaces for open exploration and engagement with literacy.
There
will be a wide variety of events drawing from a pool of local artists as well
as national figures. Some of our key events include: Royal New Zealand Ballet
story times, writing workshops by the 2017 Storylines Margaret Mahy Medal award
winner - Des Hunt, wearable arts demonstrations with Fifi Colston, robots,
creative writing with Jo Morris, immersive & interactive story creation in
collaboration with Escapemate, as well as Te Reo Wainene o Tua who will deliver
a Te Reo Māori storytelling kaupapa. All our events are free.
Beyond
The Page would love it if you were able to help spread the word to children and
youth in your local area and schools, as well as friends, colleagues and
family. We do hope you will be able to come to some of our exciting events

BOOK FAIR NEWS
A HUGE THANKYOU to everyone who supported the Book Fair this week. I wish I had some photos to share but I was just too busy to stop and think of doing such an important thing! (sigh)
For those of you who were lucky enough to meet Geronimo Stilton and even get a selfie with him... I can now reveal that he was actually a she... two of my wonderful librarians, Lulu and Millie, took turns at sweltering in the costume on what must have been our warmest days this Summer! Well done, girls.
You may also have been served at the Fair by another of my librarians, Flynn, who did an excellent job running the desk for me and managing the cash and eftpos.
Accolades also to my husband Lindsay who came in after work and took over from Flynn at the desk, then helped pack up the Fair that night as the truck was coming before 8am on Wednesday!
I am thrilled to announce that we sold over $3500 worth of books. We earned over $1000 worth of books for the School Library!
Congratulations to our two LUCKY DRAW winners, Lachlan from Room 14 and Bethany from Room 4. They have been given $50 vouchers to spend through the Book Club.

Library 2017
Welcome back! We're not having much of a summer but the weather doesn't matter if you have a good book to read!
I read quite a few books over the Summer Holidays . Some Humour, some Biography and a large dose of Murder Mystery! What genres will YOU be reading this year?
Our Library Fiction is divided into genres to make it easier for students to find a book in a genre they enjoy.
No major changes in the Library this year. A new rug has been added (we now have THREE!) to make the Library as comfortable as possible given the limited space.
There are lots of NEW BOOKS being added to the collection on a daily basis. These are displayed at the front of the library by the Issues Desk.
BOOK CLUB is open and brochures were sent home last week. Orders close on THURSDAY 16 Feb. Remember you can now order ONLINE at
https://mybookclub.scholastic.co.nz/Parent/Login.aspx
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR will be happening in Week 5 at the same time as the Goal Setting Interviews. Please come along to ROOM 8 (to left of Hall) and have a look at the books on sale. EFTPOS will be available. When you make a purchase you will be helping the school library to buy more books with the commission we earn.A Book Fair flyer will be sent home in Week 4. Bring this to the Book Fair and go in the lucky draw to win FREE BOOKS!
Please feel free to pop into the library if you would like to see me or just to take a look at the wonderful resources available to your children!
