LOCAL children and families can explore their imagination through storytime.
Families can enjoy free weekly interactive story sessions as part of Bookaburra Storytime.
Every child that regularly attends will receive a free book from the Yarra Ranges Council.
These sessions will run at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall Reading Room on Mondays from 10am to 10.30am, at Monbulk Living and Learning Centre on Wednesdays from 10am to 10.30am and the Upwey Sherbrooke Children’s Centre on Fridays from 10am to 10.45am.
Mayor Fiona McAllister said Bookaburra Storytime brings children and families together to read books and share stories.
“Literacy skills impact positively on a child’s brain development and prepares them for school,” Cr McAllister said.
