Bring your child along for a lively, friendly games afternoon at Panania Library where kids can play a mix of board games, table games and group activities designed for school-aged children. This library games session is aimed at providing social play, gentle competition and new friendships in a safe community space.
Parents can expect a relaxed drop-off or stay-and-play atmosphere; library staff will set up games suitable for ages 5–12 and help match children to activities. This is also a great chance to discover more of the Panania Library programs and other kids activities on offer during school holidays and weekends.
Activities will encourage turn-taking, teamwork and problem-solving, with a focus on fun rather than scores. Library games are a great screen-free way to keep children engaged and learning while socialising.
This session runs on Wednesday 8 October from 14:30 to 16:00 at Panania Library and Knowledge Centre and is aimed at children aged 5–12. The event is free but has limited spaces, so registration is required when bookings open.
Registration opens three days before the event and is managed by the library; please register early to secure a spot. Games will be chosen and supervised by library staff and volunteers to suit mixed ages and abilities.
Parents should plan for a 90-minute session of structured and free play; children will be supported to switch games or form new groups. The session is ideal for holiday programs, weekend activities and community library events that keep kids active and learning.
The event is held at Panania Library and Knowledge Centre, Corner of Tower Street and Anderson Avenue, Panania 2213. The library is a community hub with accessible entry and nearby parking and public transport links.
Walking or driving routes to Panania Library are straightforward from the local area; for families using public transport, check local bus and train timetables for the best connections. The library entrance and event room are accessible for strollers and wheelchair users.
If you arrive early, the library offers other children’s resources and quiet spaces to wait; it's a convenient stop for a short family outing and other kids activities in Panania.
This activity is suitable for children aged 5–12 and is supervised by library staff, however parents are welcome to stay with younger or anxious children. Please inform staff of any special needs or allergies so they can accommodate participants as needed.
The session is screen-free and focused on hands-on play; bring a water bottle and comfortable shoes. Library staff will manage groups and may rotate games to keep things fresh and inclusive for all skill levels.
Please arrive a few minutes early to check in and complete any registration details when you collect your child; the library team appreciates punctuality to ensure sessions run smoothly.
The event is free of charge. Registration opens three days before the event date and places are limited, so booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. Keep an eye on the library's events page for the registration link and details.
There are no hidden costs, but parents may choose to bring a small snack for their child after the session. The library accepts bookings online or at the front desk when registration is open.
For questions about booking or accessibility, contact the library prior to the event; check the Panania Library events listings for the most up-to-date information about school holiday programs and kids activities.
