Melbourne actor Stig Wemyss has become well known as the narrator of audio books for children and young adults. His list of books include high profile authors such as Andy Griffiths, Tim Winton, Paul Jennings, Morris Gleitzman and Margaret Clarke.
Stig’s performance was extremely popular with both the children and adults alike last week. His show was wildly entertaining, cleverly irreverent and full of fun. In his performance, Stig encouraged a love of reading, books and libraries.
Many of the titles Stig narrates are available for download as eAudiobooks from the free Bolinda BorrowBox service provided by Central Northern Region Libraries. The BorrowBox app makes it easy to remotely access, browse, borrow and listen to over 3000 adult and children’s titles using a PC or mobile device. All that is needed is a CNRL membership card and an internet connection.
Audio books are a great way for children to connect and engage with stories and characters. For avid readers they can be an alternative way to keep up with a much loved series or author.
