Baby Bounce is an early literacy program designed for 0-12 month-olds and their caregivers.
Each session introduces the rhythm and sounds of language through songs, rhymes and movement. For the best experience, you will need one lap per baby. For parents of multiples, bring along extra adults if you can.
When to arrive? Give yourself and baby enough time to be ready by 10:30 or so. You can enter either via the lagoon door, which leads you straight to the children's area, or through the main library doors on level 1, then take the lift down to level 0.
How long does it go for? About 25-30 mins. There is plenty of time and space afterwards to stretch, mingle, have a snack, browse books, talk about memberships, and join the library.
What to bring? You don't need to bring anything, but a baby rug can be helpful for tummy time.
How to book? The program is designed to be experienced as a series of four different sessions, come to as many as works for you. Book your free place/s via our What's On page. Tickets are available one week before each session.
PLEASE NOTE: BOOK A TICKET FOR YOURSELF - NO NEED TO BOOK ONE FOR YOUR BABY.
