Public Programs

Baby Rhyme Time

It's a fun and an interactive program designed for babies and little ones up to two years of age. The session combines rhymes, singing and stories. Baby Rhyme Time inspires joyous interaction between you and your baby.

We hold two sessions in Ararat each week on Tuesday at 10am and 11am.

Storytime

Storytime is an opportunity for preschool children aged three to five and their parents or carers to share the joy of books, rhythm and song.  Be prepared for lots of smiles and clapping.  Each session has a theme and a craft activity to help your child’s reading readiness.

Sessions are held each Thursday at 11am.
