Storytimes

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 Storytime program with the senior residents as we sing songs, dance and read together.

Visitor parking is limited. Please note you may need to park on a nearby street and take a short walk to the centre. Bookings are essential. Please book one ticket per person, including both children and adults.
