Out to Shirley Library

Now that the weather is better we are getting out on the bus more regularly. We catch the Orbiter bus and it takes us around to various locations around the city. Last week we decided to check out the Shirley library.

Matthew and William sat together on the bus. They have both learned that we need to use our Metrocard to pay for a bus ride. It is not free! They carry their ID cards and Metrocards around their necks.

Kyle enjoys a bus ride. He has used the bus lots of times and can pay for his ride independently.

Rawiri usually likes to sit in the seat behind the driver, but when someone else is sitting there he will sit with his mates.

Aimee-Lee knows about how to sit politely on the bus.

Once we arrived at The Palms we walked along to the library. 

Alex loves libraries. So many books to look at!

Here we are at the Shirley Library. Rawiri settled down to look at the books. Kyle looked around for something to interest him.

Aimee read a story to a bear. Fiona read a story to Alex.

Rawiri found the magazine section. Lots to look at there!

Matthew is another huge library fan. He knows there are usually toys at the library. He had a go playing with this barn toy first.

 Aimee and Fiona had a chat.

Kyle found something to read.

Matthew found a unicorn and read it a story.

Kyle found a Superman comic.

So far this year we have visited the Papanui Library, the Eastgate Library, the Shirley Library and the Bishopdale Library.
