Trilingual Storytime is a unique and memorable way of experiencing different languages and how stories are expressed in each. It’s also a valuable experience for young children to hear and share their family or community languages, and increase their sense of inclusivity
No trilingual storytimes available for booking.
Children aged 0-5 and their families or carers can join these free sessions and enjoy stories, songs and rhymes.
The pop up library allows attendees to borrow from a small selection of children's books and other materials. Bring your library card, or join the library when you attend.
