Calling all dads, uncles, grandpas, big brothers, and male carers! 📚

We all know how important it is to foster a love for reading in our youngest communities, and father-figures play an essential role in making this happen.

At the end of May, join us for a FREE, hands-on workshop at Woodcoft Library, designed to help you bring books to life for your little ones.

For the first installation of this series, come along with your child to enjoy stories and songs in a fun and interactive session, learning what makes a great picture book, build your confidence reading aloud, and take home a free book pack to support your reading at home!

Presented by Words Grow Minds, Mostly Books, and Penguin Random House.

🗓️ Saturday 30 May
⏰ 10-11am
📚 Woodcroft Library

Calling all book lovers! Next Wednesday, May 6, join us at the Mitcham Memorial Library to celebrate Sasha Wasley's latest novel, The Society of Literary Marauders.

This inspiring historical read invites conversation on the topic of banned books, female rebellion, and the power of friendship in the face of adversity.

As aspiring literary rebels ourselves, I think we can confidently say Wasley's characters are friends we want to meet! To reserve your spot for this free event, head to the Eventbrite page: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/book-lovers-meet-sasha-wasley-tickets-1983835521448

When: Wednesday, 6th May, 2026, 6:30pm
