Story-Go-Round

 

Southeast and North Tours

 

From 8 to 26 September 2008, Story-Go-Round is going to be visiting the Southeast of England; from Hampshire and Buckinghamshire, south of London to the coast and up into the Boroughs of Bexley and Bromley.

 

From 17 November to 12 December we will be in North England; from Lancashire across to East Yorkshire and up to the Scottish border; also encompassing the Isle of Man. 

 

If your library is interested on hosting an event, or if you think that training in multi-sensory storytelling would benefit your service users, e-mail us.
