We're also hosting two events on Thursday, July 11, from 10am-12pm, with kid's comedian and super-fan of fun Sean Murphy. Games Boy '18 leads kids on a hilarious, interactive exploration into the best games from around the world. Fun for ages 7-12, audiences will learn a little and laugh a lot in a show that takes history, play and silliness to new heights. Cost is $7 per child, book at mwrclibrary.eventbrite.com. Better than TED illuminates the way to compelling public speaking without PowerPoint or palm cards. Through a three-stage experience that explores how to clarify content, captivate audiences and engage in continuous improvement, the workshop provides practical insight and a platform to practice this art. This free workshop is a collaboration with Mid-Western Regional Youth Council, for ages 12-18. Book at mwrcyouth.eventbrite.com.

Everyone from total noobs to experienced gamers are welcome. Book at mwrcyouth.eventbrite.com.
Reading aloud to children, in particular by diverse and engaging storytellers, greatly improves language and literacy skills, and inspires imaginations, especially in the early years. Story Box Library features engaging online stories read by some of the finest storytellers from Australia and New Zealand. They're a little bit cheeky, a little bit charming and a whole lot of fun! Children are connected with literature through the complementary medium of film providing a vibrant, interactive experience via a diverse range of everyday storytellers with varying accents and from different cultures - each sharing past and present book titles. Story Box Library is free to members from the library website.
New release movies at the Mudgee Town Hall Cinema on July 5, 6, 7, are Rocketman, Poms, and Aladdin. Ticket info at the website and Facebook page. Check back each month for upcoming movies.
Happy reading, until the next chapter...
