Experience a gentle and engaging Auslan Storytime designed especially for young children and their parents or caregivers. Through picture books, songs, and actions, children will enjoy stories read aloud in both spoken English and Australian Sign Language (Auslan). This session encourages little ones to watch, listen, sign, move, and actively participate, supporting early language development in a playful way.
This event supports the First 5 Forever building blocks of talking, reading, singing, and playing, helping children develop communication skills, confidence, and empathy from an early age. No prior Auslan experience is needed, making it accessible and welcoming for all families.
Caregivers will also learn simple Auslan signs and activities to try at home, extending the benefits of the session beyond the library.
This storytime is part of The Together Project, which fosters learning and growth through shared experiences. It creates a welcoming space where families feel they belong, celebrates diversity, and builds strong foundations for lifelong learning.
The session is suitable for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers aged 0–5 years along with their parents or caregivers. It runs for one hour and includes interactive storytelling, songs, and signing.
Parents are responsible for supervising their children at all times. The event encourages respectful social interaction and provides a safe, child-friendly environment.
The event takes place at Beaudesert Public Library, located at 58 Brisbane St, Beaudesert QLD 4285. The library is a welcoming community space easily accessible by families in the Scenic Rim region.
Parking and public transport options are available nearby, making it convenient for parents and caregivers to attend with their little ones.
