Storytime at Busselton Library

Regular Story time sessions are held at 10.00am every second Wednesday at the Busselton Library.

The sessions usually run up to forty-five minutes, and contain stories, rhymes, songs and a craft activity, which is centred on a special theme chosen for each session.

Participation is free, and bookings are not necessary.

The next Storytime at the Busselton Library will be held on Wednesday the 2nd of March, and the theme will be... SHEEP!


Is your child one of the hundreds that count Where Is the Green Sheep? by Mem Fox as one of their favourites? Come along to the Busselton Library to hear this and other fantastic sheepy stories, followed by a wonderfully woolly craft activity, suitable for children 3 to 5 years of age.

Children love to read and be read to


Your public library is a great place for finding books to read for fun and pleasure. There is a strong link between community health and wellbeing and the use of libraries. Read to your children from a young age and see the benefits in their success in literacy and academic success.
