If you love a story, you’ve come to the right place! Our Storytime sessions showcase classic stories and new works from much loved authors – along with your favourite songs and rhymes.
Storytime at the Library
Join your favourite Library storytellers at the Pauline Gandel Children's Quarter every Wednesday from 10:30 to 11 am.
Storytime onsite sessions no longer require bookings.
Pauline Gandel Children's Quarter, supported by Gandel Foundation, is a purpose-built space for children and families to read, learn and play, with an associated program of activities.
This event is funded by the Department of Education Victoria to celebrate the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge.
Please note that Storytime will be taking a break over the school holidays on Wednesday 23 and 30 September. Join us for a special Storytime with Vision Australia and Seeing Eye Dogs on Wednesday 7 October.
