Western Downs’ treasured Story Dog Trevor is taking his show on the road to celebrate his recently published book, ‘Trevor the Library Dog’ and its debut on local Story Walks.

Accredited Story Dog Trevor will be joined by owner and local librarian Janette Quince for special outdoor Storytime sessions across the region, scavenger hunts and Story Walks in Chinchilla, Dalby and Tara commencing Friday 4 December.

Western Downs Regional Council Spokesperson for Community and Cultural Development Councillor Kaye Maguire said the libraries team was looking forward to welcoming Trevor as part of his excursions.

“Trevor the Story Dog is a hit in our communities and does a fantastic job of supporting children’s literacy and encouraging little ones to read,” Cr Maguire said.

“On his tour, Trevor will be hosting special Storytime sessions and a Library Dog themed scavenger hunt for everyone to participate it.

“Attendees will also have the opportunity to check out his new book, ‘Trevor the Library Dog’ on our new Story Walk displays.

“Trevor has been with Western Downs Libraries at the Dalby branch for two years now and we’re excited to introduce him to the Chinchilla and Tara communities.

“We’re encouraging parents to register themselves and their little ones via the Western Downs Libraries website.”
