Library on the Lawn: Kids Festival
Throughout the January school holidays, State Library Victoria’s forecourt will transform into an imagination playground for our youngest literary explorers.
Settle in for Storytime, collect a craft showbag or jump into parachute play. Supersize the fun with a collection of jumbo puzzles and a giant bubble dance party.
Looking to get a break from the summer heat? Head inside the Library to explore our iconic reading rooms and spaces whilst on a family scavenger hunt.
Library on the Lawn: Kids Festival is collaborating with Public Libraries Victoria for their BIG Summer Read program, encouraging kids to read books over the summer break. See the website for the full program. Bookings are not required
Presented by BIG Summer Read and State Library Victoria.
