News and events for our library community
Toddler Tales is the perfect introduction to storytime and includes stories, rhymes, songs, craft and music.
Participating Families are encouraged to borrow one of our Read Aloud Book Packs which contain books, rhymes and activities to try at home.
Toddler Tales is every second Thursday of the month
at 10.30 except school holidays.
Bookings are required, Please phone 9780 5600
to reserve your child’s place.
We have moved to an updated catalogue format – Discovery – so things will look a little different next time you do a catalogue search or place a hold on an item from our New Books display.
There will be some ongoing tweaking happening over the next week or so, while we continue to improve the user experience with Discovery – and we are currently reviewing and updating all of our guidelines relating to catalogue use.
We appreciate you patience while we make this transition.
Please visit the catalogue and explore the new format. We think our patrons will be especially pleased with the visibility of the log-in button, and the need for fewer clicks to place a Hold.
Don’t forget, you are always welcome to ask our friendly staff if you need some assistance to get started.
