Preschool Storytime
Storytime is a fun and interactive 30-minute session for parents and children aged 2-5.
Storytime features stories, songs, and activities. These aim to encourage literacy and a love of reading in children.
Storytime is a great way to bond your child.
It is valuable preparation for starting school because:
- it gives your child a chance to participate in a group
- introduces them to books and reading
Held in the children's area of the library, Storytime is an informal gathering with mums and dads joining in.
Please note: During school terms only.
