Storytimes
The Early Years programs at Hume libraries are designed to support the literacy development of children between 0 to 5 years.
Looking for more ways to share a love of reading with your children? Check out the 1000 Books Before School Program.
Intergenerational Storytime
Social inclusion is a big part of why we love libraries, so we’re taking a library program to community members who face challenges in accessing the library building and programs. Join us at Baptcare Brookview, a Residential Aged Care facility, to make new friendships with senior citizens.
We’ll enjoy our preschool Storytime program with the senior residents as we sing songs, dance and read together.
Bookings are essential. Please book one ticket per person, including both children and adults.

Dad's Storytime
Are you a dad with kids aged 0-5 years old? You’re invited to Dad's Storytime! It’s a great way to meet other dads in Hume, bond with your kids, and be an amazing reading role model. Join us for a 30-minute storytime, and stick around afterwards to chat, ask questions, and swap parenting tips.
