Storytimes
The Early Years programs at Hume libraries are designed to support the literacy development of children between 0 to 5 years.
Rhyme Time and Storytimes will be paused during the School Holidays, but Baby Bounce will continue as usual. Check the handy calendar(PDF, 3MB)
in our What’s On brochure to see what activities are on for your children.
Looking for more ways to share a love of reading with your children? Check out the 1000 Books Before School Program.
Dad's Storytime
