After School Activities

After school activities are held at our District Libraries and cater for children of all ages but are especially aimed at the four to ten year olds. The age range is a guide as parents are the best judges of their child's capabilities and enjoyment of the program.

Come along and give it a try! These activities are held only throughout the school term.

Born to Read

The Born to Read program is a literacy program designed for 0 to 24 months old babies and their parents or caregivers. During the 10 week program, babies and their grownups will be exposed to language, books, and playful activities. In order to allow for the most positive interaction between you and your child, it is best to have one adult per child. Exceptions are made for twins and triplets. Group size is limited to 10 children. No older siblings please. Morning tea for adults will be provided.

Held at Wollongong, Dapto, Corrimal and Warrawong Libraries
