Storytime & early readers
Thursdays 10:30, no booking. A first library card issued mid-session is a house tradition.
THE FULL PROGRAMWHAT'S ON · WATTLEBROOK
What's on at Wattlebrook
The whole program, one slip. Everything is free unless a price is stamped on it, nothing needs a login, and the door is step-free. Turn up early for storytime; the cushions go fast.
The date-due slip
Stamped a week at a time, the way the old date-due slips were. If a session needs a seat saved, call the desk and Edith writes you in.
