Early Childhood
Please see below details about our Early Childhood program (previously called Under 5's) and booking information.
Our libraries offer a range of free programs for young children and their families each week. Sessions help to develop early language and literacy and provide a fun environment for children to develop social skills.
Please note that there will be no Early Childhood programs on Wednesday 26 February as the Libraries will be closed for a staff development session. Libraries will reopen at 2.30pm on this day.
