Families can expect an informal, welcoming atmosphere where children can unwind, learn and make friends. The program blends quiet reading time with hands-on activities so children of different ages and interests are catered for. After school activities like these are perfect for developing creativity and social skills while being free and accessible at your local library.

- Short story or reading moments to promote literacy and library love
Parents will find the sessions relaxed and run by friendly library staff who are used to welcoming children straight from school. The emphasis is on easy, low-prep activities that deliver big smiles and small learning wins.
Sessions are held weekly on Tuesdays at 3:30pm during the school term, making this a reliable option for routine after school care that’s enriching and enjoyable. Activities vary week-to-week, with some sessions focused on crafts, others on games, and occasional story-based sessions to support reading and literacy.
Materials are usually provided by the library and the activities are free, though bookings are required to manage group sizes. Expect sessions to be around after school pick-up times so children can join straight from school and parents can plan work or errands around a consistent schedule.
This program is best suited to primary school-aged children; if you have younger or older children you can call ahead to check suitability. The friendly library staff can advise on specific weekly themes and any age recommendations for craft materials or activities.
The program takes place at Greenacre Library, 158 Waterloo Rd, Greenacre 2190, a short drive or bus trip for many local families. The library is easy to find and sits within a community hub where parents can access other library services while waiting.
Public transport and on-street parking are available nearby; if you’re walking from school, the route is straightforward for children to follow with a supervising adult. Accessibility options at the library ensure families with prams or mobility needs can attend with minimal fuss.
If you’re unsure about directions, the library reception can provide a quick map, local parking tips and the best entrance to use for community programs. Calling ahead is recommended if you need special assistance arriving with a group.
The After school fun sessions are free but only operate during school terms, so check your school calendar or call ahead to confirm dates. Bookings are required to help staff manage resources and group sizes; this helps keep activities safe and enjoyable for all children.
Contact the library on 9707 9744 to reserve a spot or ask about upcoming session themes and any age guidance. If a session is full, staff can add your child to a waitlist or suggest alternate dates and similar programs across the council’s libraries.
Please inform staff of any allergies, medical needs or specific support requirements when booking so the library team can prepare and keep all children safe. Simple snack policies or supervision notes may apply—staff will advise when you call.
