sandringham library, sandringham

14 Aug

Libraries are such a great and cost effective way to get the kids out of the house… and if you can find one with an epic children’s section, even better!

Sharing the space with a maternal and child health centre, Sandringham Library’s kids section is not only beautifully decorated but designed to be incredibly family friendly.

There are a multitude of plush toys dotted around the space, striking paper decorations and one of the most charming busy board walls Mamma has ever seen.

With plenty of room to park the pram and lay out a muslin or play mat, it is easy to see why this is a popular gathering spot for new parent groups.

Like other libraries, Sandringham also offers baby rhyme, toddler and preschool story times during the week, with specific schedules available on the bayside council website.

Bigger kids are absolutely catered for here as well with many S.T.E.M. related kits (such as Micro:bits, Gravity Mazes and bot building) available to borrow. There is also a “Create Play Learn” room here which gives budding tech heads and creatives access to tools such as 3D printers, VR headsets and craft cutters.

With so many free resources and events held here, Sandy library is a community space for the whole family.
