Library week for Children

Celebrating Library Week

The Results are IN!

Check out Eddys Life Story Competiton results page for info.

At Taupo Library Tuesday August 17th, 9:30am – 12:15

Three schools compete in the library with 8 performances!   

Watch some of our Year 3 and 4 students from local schools tell and present their version of how Eddy the Taniwha (the children’s library mascot) came to be. 

Each group has a maximum 15 minutes to impress the judges who will score on their creativeness, teamwork and presentation to select just one story to be the official tale of Eddy. 

Come and be part of Eddy’s history and cheer them on.  The show is free.
