There is no booking required — families can simply turn up at Panania Library and join in. The program is free, making it an easy choice for parents looking for budget-friendly after-school activities.
This program operates only during school terms, so times may pause during school holidays. Check the library or council updates for term dates and any special events that alter the usual schedule.
Panania Library and Knowledge Centre is located at 77 Anderson Ave, Panania NSW 2213, a short walk from local schools and public transport. The library is easy to find on Anderson Avenue and is family-friendly with accessible entrances.
There is limited on-site parking and street parking nearby; consider walking or using drop-off if your schedule is tight. The library entrance is stroller-friendly and has clear signage to the children's area.
If you prefer to plan ahead, ring the library for directions or accessibility queries. Staff are happy to advise on the best entry points and where sessions are held within the building.
Activities are supervised by library staff but caregivers remain responsible for their children while at the library. Please ensure you collect your child promptly at 4:30pm to respect staff and other families.
If your child has allergies or special needs, please speak to library staff on arrival so they can assist with suitable activities or seating. The program is intended to be inclusive and welcoming to all school-aged children.
The library encourages respectful behaviour, tidy-up after crafts, and consideration of other visitors using library spaces. This helps keep the sessions enjoyable for everyone and supports a positive community environment.
This is a free, drop-in program — no booking is required. Families can simply head to Panania Library on Wednesdays and Fridays during term time and join the activities between 3:30 and 4:30pm.
