A Symphony of Stories
Children's Book Week Event
Wednesday, August 26
10:30am - 11:30am
Celebrate Children's Book Week with this special Story Time where we explore the best of the best in Australian children's literature. Recommended ages Preschool
In 2026, we are celebrating the Children’s Book Council of Australia’s 80th year of the Book of the Year Awards. These awards have recognised the incredible talent and imagination that fuel the books our young readers cherish, and the creators who continue to shape our understanding of childhood, curiosity and compassion through story.
Children must be supervised by a responsible person (adult or carer) in our libraries and our programs.
Bookings are recommended to save your place in the program.
Please cancel your booking if you are no longer able to attend so we can contact our waitlist.
Bookings close one day prior to the session. If you require assistance, please contact library staff.
