Free weekly Wednesday morning storytime with stories, rhymes and songs for children under five, led by the library's Bookstart Bear Club mascot Norman Bear.
Norman Bear's Storytime is on at Newby & Scalby Library this Wednesday morning, and it's part of a regular run that keeps going throughout the term. It runs from 10.15 to 10.45, so it's a half hour of stories, rhymes and songs for the little ones. New members are always welcome, so you don't need to have been before to just turn up.
Norman Bear is the mascot of the library's Bookstart Bear Club, and there's a bit of a tradition to it. When a child under five joins the club, they get a small knitted bear made by the Crafty Articles group that meets in the library, along with a card. Every time they visit, they get a sticker on that card, and once they've hit ten visits, they get a free board book. It's a nice way to get them used to the library from the start.
If your little one is into the musical side of things, there's more on the go. Every other Wednesday, the library runs 'Fun with Norman and Neisha' for club members — that's for accompanied children who love story-based songs, music and dance. And if you're looking for something to take home, they keep several story sacks available for parents, each based on a well-known children's book, so you can keep the reading going between sessions.
