Storytime with Anna Christina in Kensington and Chelsea!
After the success of my Summer Holiday Library Events back in August, I realised how well it worked to visit three libraries, back-to-back, in the same area for Storytime. It's great for promoting the libraries in that area, plus it also means, that if families miss one session, they have the opportunity to catch me on another day!
I decided to head into the Kensington and Chelsea area for my October Half-Term Holiday Storytimes. I brought my circus Storytime to Chelsea and introduced everyone to my audiobook Billy Joins the Circus. It was extremely popular!
My first Storytime was at North Kensington Library on Monday 22nd October. The library was buzzing with many families and children and I couldn't wait to get started. To be honest, I lost count of how many children were there but I did notice it was a very young 'rhyme time' style group.
The parents loved Billy's song and on the lyric "I can jump up and down", they all lifted their little ones high up in the air and they were all laughing and smiling and singing along! It was adorable!
My second Storytime was at Chelsea Library on Tuesday 23rd October. The library is inside a beautiful Grade II listed building which also doubles as The Old Town Hall. The children enjoyed the session enormously.
At this point in the week, I had my first two Polka Workshops but more about that in my next blog post. My last visit on Friday 26th October was to Brompton Library and once again, I was greeted at the library by lots of happy faces! The children greatly enjoyed my style of circus storytelling and doing the related activities. It was a great week of fun and laughter with the children and I can't wait to return to Chelsea next year!
