Event Type

Musical Storytime, a hands-on activity for preschoolers, will be offered Monday, April 7th at 10:00am at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, 571 Laneda Avenue.
The free readings, for children ages 3 to 5, will feature a live oboe accompaniment by North Oregon Coast Symphony musician, Laurie Swanson. This month children will hear, “Do Like a Duck Does” by Judy Hindley and Ivan Bates. In this story a mother duck is on a walk with her ducklings when suddenly a large, furry, brown duck joins the group. Drama, rhythm, and sunny images in this book make it a favorite with young children. Swanson will talk more about the instruments she plays, the oboe and English horn, and will demonstrate playing both during this event. After the reading, children will experience playing some different wind instruments.
Similar events are being planned monthly in partnership between The North Oregon Coast Symphony, North Tillamook Library and Astoria Library. For more information, visit the symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org. or https://www.astoria.gov/dept/Library at 503-325-7323.
