Rattle, Rhyme and Roll

Our Rattle, Rhyme and Roll sessions are relaxed, friendly rhyme sessions for babies and toddlers. 

Our libraries are the perfect space to spend quality time with your little one. Enjoy singing and rhymes in fun sessions led by our friendly and welcoming staff. Wanting more? Visit our page here to continue the fun at home with some of our favourite rhymes.

Take advantage of this fabulous opportunity to share rhymes new and old, introduce your child to the library environment, and meet other parents too!

Sessions last about 30 minutes and are completely free.
