Tamborine Mountain Library IDPwD Storytime Takeover - Session 2

Through shared picture books, songs and actions, children will see stories read aloud in spoken English and Auslan (Australian Sign Language). 

Little ones will be encouraged to watch, listen, sign, move and join in, supporting early language development in a playful and engaging way. This session supports the First 5 Forever building blocks of talking, reading, singing and playing, while also helping children develop communication skills, confidence and empathy from an early age. 

No Auslan experience is needed - families will learn simple signs together and discover new ways to communicate with their child.

Please note the following Guidelines for Children's Events at Scenic Rim Libraries

• Supervision is key: Parents and carers are responsible for supervising their children at all times during programs. Children under 10 must be within sight of a responsible adult (18+) at all times.
• Respect personal boundaries: Please be mindful before engaging with a child who is not your own. Always ask a parent for permission.
• Children and social interaction: Children may naturally seek out staff or other participants during activities. If you prefer your child not to engage in this way, please stay close and supervise their participation.
• Photography and personal space: If you prefer that your child is not included in photos or that others do not engage physically with them (e.g. handshakes, high fives), please let the staff know.
• A safe and welcoming space: The library is a child-friendly environment built on trust and respect. Let's work together to create a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone!
