Baby Rock & Rhyme

Baby Rock & Rhyme will be resuming at Miramar Library on Tuesday 2nd of February.This popular programme, aimed at 0-2 year olds, is held every Tuesday during term time. It is an interactive fun-filled session of rhymes, songs and fingerplays for babies and their caregivers. Starts at 10:15 and runs for approximately 20 minutes. Baby Rock & Rhyme CDs are now available from the Library for $15.

Storytime

Storytime is every Thursday at Miramar Library at 10:15am in the children's area. Storytime runs for about half an hour, with stories and songs. Pre-school storytimes are fun and free - there's no charge, and you don't have to book. Storytime is aimed at pre-school age children (three and four years old) - but younger siblings are always welcome!

More information on storytimes, including full details for all libraries is available in Parents' Corner.
