they are a place full of fun for have a whole range
of programs for children of all ages throughout the year as well
as themed event programs during school holidays which you can
find on our website and social media pages.
Storytime features activities for 2–5 year olds to enjoy. With
songs, stories, craft and more fun activities, it is a great way to
engage young children and teach them new things in a fun way.
Solmaz brings her daughter Chloe to Storytime at Greenacres
Library, “I come to Storytime because it gives Chloe confidence
and allows her to socialise with other children her age.”
“It is also great to get her involved in learning and helps to
teach her concentration and is different than learning at home”
she added.
Storytime is free and runs every Monday at Port Adelaide,
Tuesday at Greenacres,Wednesday at Enfield,Thursday at
Semaphore, and Friday at Greenacres during school terms.
No booking is required, just turn up!
