Storylines will build on its strong
and respected role in the New Zealand literary community with a revamped and
re-focused programme of events which will run from April to November 2017. The
new annual programme will include a dynamic and exciting interactive tour of
presentations, storytelling and performances which will cover the North and
South Islands from May to September.
The Storylines National Festival
Story Tour will visit community venues and facilities in metropolitan and
regional centres, smaller cities and towns, extending Storylines’ regional
reach to communities that have not previously had access to their central
city-based Family Days.
Dr. Libby Limbrick, Chair of the
Storylines Children’s Literature Charitable Trust of New Zealand says
“The Storylines Auckland/South Auckland and Northland Story Tours model has
proved very effective. It’s been a joy to see how taking activities that
promote young people’s active engagement with children’s literature directly
into schools and community centres has been so well received, and we are
looking forward to bringing this experience to many more children across New
Zealand this year.”
