Free online storytime books on all sorts of topics together with suggested activities.  This is great for children learning to read or those who enjoy the online format.  Books can be read out loud with the text highlighted.  Bookflix is available via the Library Catalogue.  On the left of the catalogue screen you will see Bookflix from home.  All you need to do is type in your library card number.  Let us know what you think!

You will find a wide range of resources to share with your preschooler including picture books, board books, stories on CD, DVDs, magazines, multimedia packs, music CDs and simple fact books.  Prechoolers are welcome to join the library themselves if you are happy to be their Guarantor.  This will start them on their own library journey.

And for you, there is the Parenting Collection - books, magazines, DVDs and resources about your children's health and development.

Sharing stories and joining in with our library activities will help your child be prepared for starting school.  The NSW Department of Education and Training offers advice in all languages via the Family Guide to Starting Kindergarten
