What’s on for kids?
The library service has a range of exciting activities
for children of all ages and stages to enjoy during the
school term.
Baby Bounce sessions are designed especially for
children aged 0-2 years. The sessions introduce your
baby to nursery rhymes, finger plays, music, songs and
stories. Sessions are held weekly at Greenacres and
Semaphore libraries.
Preschoolers can enjoy weekly Storytime sessions at all of
the library branches. These sessions include stories, songs,
felt boards, rhymes and craft activities.
School children aged 5 to 13 years can join in fun
activities at our Kids’ Club. Each fortnight has a different
activity and may include cooking, craft, puzzles, games,
special guests and more. Kids’ Club is available at Enfield,
Greenacres and Semaphore Libraries.
