Preschool Story Time

This program is for children up to 5 years of age and their carers. Listen to stories, rhymes and songs, watch finger puppet plays or do craft!

Holiday Programs

Our libraries have a fun program of activities during school holidays which may include craft, science workshops, special shows or simple cookery.

A holiday flier  will be available on the What's On page one month before the school holidays.

Bookings open two weeks before the school holidays  and are essential.   Places are limited so book early. 

Summer Reading Club

The Summer Reading Club is run during the December and January school holidays. The Club is designed to encourage children to maintain their reading during the long summer break from school.

Details are available one month before the December/January school holidays begin.  Visit the What's on page for more information.

Help with school work from a secondary school teacher is available in the Technology Room at Auburn Library on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm during school terms.  Computers are  available for students to use.  

Your Tutor 

Your Tutor is a free online tutoring service. One-to-one tutoring assistance is available to all students, regardless of their geographic, social, cultural, or economic circumstances.  You will need a current library card to login to the service. You can access the website between 4:00 pm and 8:00 pm weeknights.
