Storytime - Parks Library

Last updated February 2026

Parks Library hosts regular, free storytime sessions designed to introduce young children to the joy of books and reading. Located within the modern Parks Community Centre in Angle Park, these sessions provide a welcoming and engaging environment for local families. Led by experienced library staff, the program typically includes a mix of stories, songs, rhymes, and a simple craft activity. It's an excellent opportunity for preschoolers to develop early literacy skills and for parents and caregivers to connect with others in the community. The sessions are a perfect, low-key outing that encourages a lifelong love of learning. **What to Bring** A library card to borrow books after the session. A small snack and a water bottle. **Best Age Range** Best for 2 to 5 year olds. This age group can engage with the stories and rhymes, participate in the simple craft activities, and benefit from the social interaction. **Good to Know** Bookings are usually essential and can be made via the library's event page. Free on-site parking is available at the Parks Community Centre. The library and centre are fully accessible for prams and wheelchairs. **Nearby** After storytime, head to the excellent playground at the St Clair Recreation Centre, just a five-minute drive away. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive a bit early to let the little ones explore the children's section before the session starts. Remember to book your spot online as soon as sessions are released as they can fill up fast. Don't forget to grab some books to take home afterwards to continue the fun.
