Storytime

Storytimes at Warrawong Library are lots of fun and free! We read and tell stories, show films or videos, sing songs, play games and do craft. Storytimes held during school hours cater for preschool children aged between two and five years and their caregivers. Storytimes held after school or during school holidays cater for children of all ages and are especially aimed at the four to ten year olds. The age range is a guide. Parents are the best judges of their child's capabilities and enjoyment of the program. Come along and give it a try!
