Sunday storytime at Westall Library is a warm, energetic half-hour designed for young children and busy parents. Held on the 3rd Sunday of the month during school terms at 3pm, this free library storytime features stories, songs, rhymes and puppets to spark early literacy and family fun.
Bring your little ones for a lively mix of picture books, songs and puppet play — ideal for toddlers and preschoolers. The sessions are upbeat and parent-friendly, supporting early literacy and listening skills while keeping kids engaged.
- Stories chosen for young children
- Interactive songs and rhymes to join in
- Puppet play that encourages imagination and laughter
Sessions run for about 30 minutes, paced to hold attention, and there’s always time afterward to browse the children’s shelves and borrow a favourite, helping families find new books to read at home.
This program is aimed at families with young children and preschool-aged kids; it suits ages roughly 0–5 and welcomes older siblings. It runs on the 3rd Sunday of the month at Westall Library during school terms only, so check the term dates before you go.
Sessions start promptly at 15:00 and finish by 15:30, featuring a mix of reading, singing and movement to support early literacy and social development. The sessions are led by friendly library staff who adapt the activities for different ages.
Materials are provided by the library and there’s no need to bring anything except a cozy rug or a small cushion if your child prefers. This storytime is a great way to introduce children to the library and build reading habits.
The event takes place at Westall Library, 25 Fairbank Rd, Clayton South 3169 — a community-friendly branch with easy access for families. Look for the children’s area where storytime is usually held, and check staff directions on arrival.
Consider walking, cycling or using public transport to keep the trip simple; parking can be limited during busy times. If you prefer to drive, allow a few extra minutes to find a spot and bring a stroller-friendly plan.
There are return chutes and extended access at the library, and staff can point you to baby-change facilities and accessible entrances if needed. If you plan to borrow books after the session, the children’s collection is conveniently nearby.
This program runs during school terms only and is scheduled on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 15:00. Check the Kingston Libraries website for term dates and any changes to the timetable before attending.
Parents and carers are responsible for supervising children at all times. If your child has specific needs or requires assistance, contact the library beforehand so staff can help accommodate you.
Note that libraries may have altered services on certain public holidays or during network outages at specific branches; if you rely on Wi‑Fi or extended facilities, it’s a good idea to check current library status before travelling.
The Sunday storytime is free and no bookings are required, making it an easy weekend option for busy families looking for low-cost activities. Bring the kids without the fuss of reservations and enjoy a relaxed library visit.
