Story Time at Newcastle Library

To celebrate Book Week 2016, a story time event was held at Newcastle Campus Library.

Library students, Kaitlyn Mcleod and Emma Collins, read Aliens love underpants by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort to a group of children from the Newcastle Campus Creche. The children then drew their own aliens on paper and coloured them in.

Library students often organise and present campus story time events, this is great experience for our Hunter TAFE students, and a fun outing for the creche kids!
