Special Storytimes
Published on 10 November 2025
During November and December, we’ll be hosting special themed Storytimes during our regularly scheduled program.
Best suited to children aged 3 to 5 years, and siblings are welcome to attend. Children under 12 years must be supervised by a responsible adult.
There’s no need to book your place, just meet us at the library.
Recycling Week Storytime
Join us for stories, songs and activities about how food scraps and garden waste can be transformed into nutrient-rich compost instead of going to landfill, helping create a cleaner and greener Stonnington. Then stick around chat to Council’s Waste Education Team, who will answer your questions about recycling, FOGO and the green bin rollout.
