Please note:

  • Bookings are essential for all programs, unless stated otherwise. This is to manage space safely, as well as manage materials, and ensure an optimum group size for enjoyment and success.
  • Locations for programs are chosen for a variety of reasons including required space and other facilities, timing, and community interests. Programs are shared around all libraries, however not all locations are suitable for particular programs.
  • Dates and times for programs are often influenced by the availability of the presenter.
  • Age limits apply to some programs, particularly school holiday activities. We provide programs for a wide age range, so please look for programs that match the age concerned. Exceptions to age limits will not be made. Physical coordination, size or skill level, and understanding are often key to the success of a program, and participants outside the age range require extra attention which may affect the quality of the program and enjoyment of others.
