Regular Events

During our temporary closure we want to help you continue to play and learn, and we are thrilled to be able to deliver some of our well-loved regular events in new online formats.

Our librarians have been busy recording & organising Rhyme Time, Stay-at-home Storytime & Conversation Café sessions from their homes, so that you can access these from the comfort and safety of yours. Make sure you also check out our Special Events now running online!  

While not all of our Regular Events may be deliverable in an online format, we look forward to welcoming these programs and activities back in our libraries when it is safe to do so.

We miss seeing our community members and hope you are staying safe and well.

New Rhyme Time videos are posted on our Facebook page every Tuesday and Thursday at 10.15am!

Tune in to learn songs, finger plays and rhymes with your baby or toddler from the comfort of your own home. For children aged 0 to 2 years.
