Storytime at Springvale Library is designed to nurture your child's love of books and reading, which is essential for their literacy development and understanding of the world. These lively sessions encourage active participation from both children and their carers, making it a fun social experience for all.
Carers will learn songs, finger plays, and nursery rhymes to enjoy with children at home, enhancing the bonding experience and extending learning beyond the library. There is also a Sensitive Storytime tailored for children aged three and over with sensory processing or developmental challenges, including those on the autism spectrum, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and included.
The sessions run every Thursday from 10:30 to 11:00 am, starting from February 5, 2026. They are not held during school holidays or public holidays, so be sure to check the schedule before attending. The program is suitable for young children and their carers, providing a supportive environment to develop early literacy skills.
Sensitive Storytime sessions require registration, which can be arranged by contacting the library directly. This special session is adapted to meet the needs of children requiring a gentler sensory experience.
The Storytime sessions take place at Springvale Library, located at 5 Hillcrest Grove, Springvale. The library is a community hub easily accessible by public transport and offers a welcoming space for families.
Parking and accessibility options are available, and the library staff are happy to assist with any additional support needed to participate in the sessions. This makes it an inclusive event for all families in the Greater Dandenong area.
Please note that Storytime sessions do not run during school holidays or public holidays, so plan accordingly. If your child has sensory or developmental needs, consider the Sensitive Storytime option for a more comfortable experience.
