Storytime

  • Pre-school Storytime is held at Karori Library every week day at 10:30am in the children's area.
  • Sessions run for about half an hour, with stories and songs.
  • Storytimes are fun and free - there is no charge, and you do not have to book.
  • Storytime sessions are aimed at pre-school children (three and four years old) - but younger siblings are always welcome!

Come along - we'd love to see you there!
