Children's Programs
From board games to LEGO, to creative writing and STEAM challenges, Hobsons Bay Libraries have so many opportunities for children to engage and learn through active play.
Our weekly sessions are open to all primary age children and are on a drop-in basis across all of our library sites.
Please note that a responsible parent / carer should accompany children while they are attending our children’s programs.
Parents / carers are responsible for a child’s welfare as well as monitoring and regulating their behaviour.
These programs are best suited for primary aged children between 5 to 12 years and are run during school terms.
Term 2 programming will run from the week beginning Monday 27 April until Friday 26 June.
