Toddler Time - New Program for 2014
Toddler Time is a new storytime program for 2014. It fills the gap between our Rhymetime program, for babies, and our normal storytimes, which cater for 3 years and up.
Why not bring a toddler or two to one of our Toddler Time programs? Sing songs, learn the finger and hand actions to match these classic rhymes and listen to easy flow stories. Help your child to listen, learn and interact in the best way possible - through rhythm, rhyme and song. We hope to see you soon.
Note: Our weekly storytime sessions, including rhymetime, toddler time and storytime, are not held during school holidays.

Engadine Library gets a visit from an Easter Bunny
Engadine Library had a special furry visitor during Easter Storytime - Nibbles, the rabbit.
The children enjoyed hearing Easter stories, singing songs and meeting Nibbles before making an Easter basket craft. A good afternoon was had by all!

Christmas Storytime at Cronulla Mall
Bells were ringing and we were singing at Cronulla Library's Xmas Beach storytime on Friday 16th December. Our special storytime in the Mall attracted 60 people who were happy to enjoy Christmas and seaside themed stories and songs.
'Maudie and Bear' from Bookweek 2011, and our enthusiastic singing attracted the attention of Santa who came to say hello.
Bookatoo also visited much to the delight of the crowd most of whom were our regular Storytime and Rhymetime customers. So a very Merry Christmas to you all and we hope to see you at Cronulla library in the new year.

Summertime Storytime at Cronulla Mall
As the children gathered around the stage anticipating the fun they would have at Summertime Storytime; so did the STORM CLOUDS! But they had their own Christmas miracle - when we started to sing Jingle Bells, the rain stopped and the sun came out! Santa may have helped us out there as I am sure he was enjoying our singing from his throne that was located just behind us. The kids listened to a mix of beach and Christmas stories and particularly enjoyed the encore re-enactment of the book week award winning “Bear and Chook”. Bookatoo also made an appearance to wish all the boys and girls a Merry Christmas; with many hugs and hi fives in return. Debbie and Cheryl looked quite fetching in their Hawaiian inspired outfits and a good time was had by all.
Regular preschool and after school Storytimes are held at Sutherland Shire Libraries throughout school terms. At these hour long sessions we read stories, sing rhymes, watch a DVD and make a simple craft. To find out the Storytime Day at your closest Library see our Storytime page. Christmas Storytime at Engadine Library
Engadine Library had a special visitor when it hosted a Christmas story time last Friday. While the children were entertained with Christmas stories, rhymes and a film Santa made a surprise visit and gave each child a small gift to take home. Lots of fun and photo opportunities was had by all.
Sleepover In the Library
Some very special guests slept over at Sutherland Library this week. We had the pleasure of having 22 children and their toys join us at Monday night storytime.
The toys were very well behaved while we sang the songs, read the stories and shared a movie. And there were no unfortunate incidents involving glue during the making of the craft.
But look what happened after the lights went out..........
Sleepless in the Library
Have you ever wondered what happens in the library when the lights go out? Bring along your favourite stuffed toy to our Sleepless in the Library storytime and you may well find out.Your toys will have fun joining in with the stories, songs, film and craft. Then say goodnight to them for the night.
What mischief will your toys get up to? Find out at the following Monday night storytime when the photos will be displayed exposing the toys' adventures

National Simultaneous Storytime 2010
Smudge the dog got to meet lots of boys and girls at Sutherland Library's storytime on Wednesday 26th May 2010 when Bruce Whatley and Rosie Smith's story 'Little White Dogs Can't Jump was read as part of National Simultaneous Storytime.
National Simultaneous Storytime is a campaign organised by the Australian Library and Information Association. During this storytime, a picture book written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator is read simultaneously to children in a variety of venues around Australia.
The campaign promotes the value of books and encourages young people to read, share books and become involved in other fun and engaging literary based activities. The campaign is an integral part of promoting the value of reading and literacy within Australian society.
In 2009, over 120,000 children and adults across Australia took part in National Simultaneous Storytime.
Smudge behaved himself most of the time, but the best part of his day was he got to have a ride in mum's brand new red sports car. Some of the big kids also had a turn at driving!
Sutherland Shire Libraries hold a variety of storytimes and other activities for children at all your libraries.
Christmas time is near!
Kids come and help us celebrate the festive season. Santa will be visiting various libraries around the Shire, check out where he will be.
