ONCE UPON A SUNDAY
Children love to hear stories and there is no better way to hear them than at the Once Upon a Time storytelling sessions in the Dunedin City Library.
Kaitrin McMullan, Dunedin’s professional storyteller, spins a yarn in the City Library’s story pit every first Sunday of the month at 2.00 pm, except in January and public holidays.
Each and every session is tailored to a different theme and these wonderful stories are sure to inspire and delight children of all ages.
