During open hours

In the busyness of family life, it can sometimes be hard to find the time and space to connect one on one with our children. Connection Corner is here to be that safe, cozy, and connective space where you can come with your child/children and be intentional with your time together.
Each month will be geared toward a theme and set up with related books, activities, games, and opportunities to have fun and connect. A joyful time to be present and playful.

A fun filled program featuring songs, stories, and creative playtime! With North Perth EarlyON and North Perth Public Library.

Listowel Library Branch

Drop by EVERY FRIDAY at 10:30am to join in on the fun. 

Let's start off right by reading 1 book to our littles every day before they enter Kindergarten! In just 4 years, one book a night will surpass 1000 books!! This initiative is to support literacy and the love of reading! 

How to join in on the fun: 

  1. Get ready. Pick up a tracking poster or print them from our website.
  2. Read & Track it. Colour in, or cross out for each book you read to your child.
  3. Every book counts. Even if your child wants to hear the same book again and again, you can count it each time. 
  4. Keep going. Can you surpass 1000 books? 
  5. Share your success. Tag us @northperthlib and use the hashtag #1000BooksB4K.

Who doesn't love storytime?! Join us for a fun gathering all about picture books and literacy!
