TATURA Library (TL) has two fantastic events coming up to capture the imagination of young readers.

Orchestra Victoria will present, Little Puggle’s Song, written by Vikki Conley as part of the Shepparton Festival, on Thursday, April 18. Storyteller Janet McLeod will read the book accompanied by the Orchestra as they bring the heartwarming story about Echidna to life for young minds who can connect with the story through the music.

“Hosting Orchestra Victoria in Tatura is something the Shepparton Festival is very proud to be doing for one of our smaller towns, as well as for our wonderful smaller people!” said Shepparton Festival director, Kristen Retallick.

Former Tatura resident Margot Warnett will launch her new book, Meg & Peg at the TL on Saturday, April 27, at 1pm.

Meg & Peg is inspired by Margot’s life growing up in the country with her sister. The chapter book, beautifully illustrated by Julie Haysom, is filled with animals and adventures as the two young girls dream of competing in horse shows.

If you would like to join Orchestra Victoria at the TL for their Musical Storytime on Thursday, April 18 at 11am book your free tickets via the Shepparton Festival website https://sheppartonfestival.org.au/event/little-puggles-song.
