Children’s library cards

Did you know there is no minimum age for your child to have a library card? Give your child the gift of reading and sign up at the desk with any of our friendly staff members and receive a FREE lanyard!

You can join online today with a digital membership, you’ll just need to visit the library and present identification within 30 days to borrow any physical items.

A child’s library card will let you borrow up to 100 items, and gives you free access from home on any device to:

• eBooks
• Audiobooks
• Movies
• and more

For a child’s membership, a parent or guardian will need to provide their ID and sign the terms and conditions.

Wellbeing kits

Borrow a kit full of activities to develop your child's confidence, mindfulness, resilience, gratitude and feelings.

The Wellbeing Kits have been developed with local psychologist Mandy George. Mandy is a Registered Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about working with children and families. She has extensive experience providing assessment and services to children, adolescence and adults with anxiety, depression, behavioural problems, trauma, grief and school-related difficulties.

These kits are available for borrowing in the Children’s Area or you can place a kit on hold via the library catalogue:

STEM kits

Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering (STEM) kits have been developed with electronic coding equipment and activities designed by top early-learning experts. Kits include tools like Botzees, Botzees Toddler Coding Train and Sammy the coding robot to develop STEM and coding skills through play-based activities and standard aligned lesson plans.

Ask a staff member about borrowing a STEM kit, or visit our library catalogue to place one on hold today.

Kindergarten and childcare visits

Our visits to childcare centres and kindergartens are about bringing the fun of story time to our community. Our team handpicks engaging stories to deliver a captivating story time and singalong session. Children enjoy an energising session of singing with classic rhymes and songs, and dancing along with our team.

Promoting literacy and developing confidence, our group sessions bring the fun of the library to the community.
