Story Time

The library offers Story Time every Wednesday and Thursday at 9.30 am for children and their families at the Ingham Library. Story Time is followed by a craft activity and free play time. Adults and children come together in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. It's a great place for new parents and newcomers to the district to meet other  families. Mums and Dads, Grandparents and Carers join in the fun as well and share the adventures that books can bring. Story Time is an ideal beginning to building literacy skills for our children. We look forward to meeting you.

The Baby Rhyme Time program uses nursery rhymes and finger plays to help develop your baby's language skills. Come along and have fun singing, clapping and dancing with other parents and babies.
