Events for children
Regular Children's Activities
Our regular Children's activities are now delivered both in person at one of our branches or live online via Facebook or Zoom. We are rescheduling as many of the beloved babies and toddler events as NSW Government restrictions and event space allows. We are grateful for your patience as we get our events program back on track.
Bookings are essential for many of our programs, particularly for those delivered in person at the library.
