If we don't have your particular language we can order them from the State Library of NSW. The State Library supplies us, on request, a box of randomly selected titles in the chosen language for three months. During that time you can come to the library and borrow them for 3 weeks to read at your leisure.
If you want a particular title in your language which we do not have we can request them from another library service, however this attracts a standard Inter Library Loan charge.
Just ask the staff and they will be able to assist you.
Multicultural Storytime
This special Storytime is about bringing the riches of the world to your child. We have stories, songs and crafts but with an international flavour. The stories, the songs and the crafts come from all over the world. The stories are told in English and sometimes in another language as well. Each week the group virtually visits a different part of the world.
This is all for free, so come along and join in the fun. You'll never know what part of the world you might visit.
