The New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards festival week kicks off on 9 May, culminating in the Awards dinner and winners’ announcements on 18 May.
Ever-popular NZ author and Young Adult Fiction Finalist Fleur Beale will be in town during awards week (9-17 May). Fleur will be holding a workshop for school students on Friday 13 May (9am to midday in the Library Meeting Room). Places are strictly limited for this free workshop and registration is essential; please contact Kirsty Graham at the Library for further information (211 1444 or kirsty.graham@ilibrary.co.nz ).
Fleur will then be off to Southland Boys’ High School for a lecture for school children at 2pm. Again, this free event has limited spaces, so any teachers interested in taking a class along should contact Kirsty Graham at the Library ASAP (211 1444 or kirsty.graham@ilibrary.co.nz ).
Children are being invited to create and decorate their own fossil to enter in our “Make a Fossil” competition. Instructions on how to make a fossil are available from Children’s Services and entries close Friday 6 May. Prizes for the best and most creative fossils are up for grabs. This activity is inspired by the award-nominated book The Kiwi fossil hunter’s handbook by J S Crampton.
We will be having giveaways and spot prizes for children throughout NZ Post Children's Book Awards festival week, so make sure you bring your kids in to be in to win.
