Event at Ashton Market Hall
Shoppers at Ashton Market Hall on Tuesday 26 June 2018 were able to find out about free eBooks and eAudiobooks to borrow via Borrow Box.
People seemed to really like the idea of borrowing a range of eBooks and eAudiobooks directly via the Borrow Box App on their own Apple or Android devices.
It’s free to all library members and if you missed the event yesterday you can find out all about it at any Tameside Library or click the link below.
For more information and to sign up to our eAudiobook and eBook services, please visit the following web page: https://www.tameside.gov.uk/libraries/ebooks
FAMILIES have teamed up with Tameside Libraries on a fabulous project to create their very own children’s storybooks, suitable for the under-fives.
Working with arts organisation Stone Soup, children’s author Caryl Hart and illustrator Adam Pryce, they came up with the characters, settings and adventures which have resulted in the publication of four picture books.
They are now available for sale in Tameside libraries priced £5 each. The titles are:
- Into the Jungle
- Joey’s Space Adventure
- The Magic Roundabout
- Down the Plughole
Story Maker sessions took place over several months at Tameside Central Library, Ashton; and at Dukinfield, Hattersley and Mossley Libraries. The project aimed to get children reading, to introduce parents to the library service, and to engage young families in storytelling. This was done through interactive storytelling sessions.
Families who regularly attended the sessions had the opportunity to visit the Lowry Theatre to watch a performance of Julia Donaldson’s popular children’s stories “Room on the Broom”, “Stickman” and “The Gruffalo”.
In October, part of the Halle Orchestra came to Tameside and put on four interactive workshops. Families were treated to a performance of “The Journey” by Neil Griffiths, and were encouraged to join in by singing nursery rhymes to the music and accompanying the music with a shaker.

At the end of the project there was a Celebration event attended by 200 children and grown-ups who enjoyed stories, music, crafts, face-painting, balloon modelling, cardboard rockets and the chance to meet Safari Phil’s animals.
Families also had the opportunity to listen to stories by Simon the Storyteller.
