We're the OverTheres, and we're coming to your library!

We've got shows, stories and activities to share with our friends, and we can't wait to meet you.

Did you know there's no right way to tell a story? Some people read quietly to themselves, others like to act it out and sing or draw and paint. The main thing is it should be fun!

 

Will you come and be part of our story?
 

Fun, accessible reading for everyone

A brown and cream puppet creature who looks like a dog and a cat, with blue hair and nose, is in a children's library in Wales. He is holding a book called "Leave the Trees Please" and is excitedly looking into the camera
