Origami and stories from Japan





Yasuko Ohbayashi from our sister city Eniwa visited at the beginning of the holidays and spent the afternoon visiting our branch libraries at Temuka and Geraldine, and reading stories and teaching Origami at Timaru Library. Yasuko demonstrated traditional Japanese “apron theatre” with the story “The giant turnip” and read books that had been presented to Timaru Libraries by Eniwa Library. Everyone loved doing Origami especially the trick boat with disappearing mast! Thank you Yasuko!!!
