Storytimes
The Early Years programs at Hume libraries are designed to support the literacy development of children between 0 to 5 years.
Rhyme Time, Storytimes and Baby Bounce will be paused during the School Holidays.
Looking for more ways to share a love of reading with your children? Check out the 1000 Books Before School Program.
It’s Libraries in the Park! Meet us at Woodlands Historic Park in Greenvale for an outdoor Rhyme Time. Bush babies, tireless toddlers and playful preschoolers welcome!
