libraries by mamma knows west
Libraries are such a fantastic place to hang out with the family. They are warm in the winter - cool in the summer and perfect all year around! You can usually catch a rhymetime or storytime session at your local library and we try and get to as many as we can to check them and spend some quality time perusing, choosing the books and other resources available. Don't underestimate how awesome it is to get out of the house and enjoy these community treasures.
We haven't listed ALL of the libraries but these are just some of our faves.

Mamma loves a library! That is not a secret and this newish one in Tarneit is fantastic.
FREE Babytime, Storytime, Twilight Tales and Rhymetimes are on each day. The new Werribee Plaza Library is big, bright and bursting with books! Mamma and the crew LURVE libraries and this one is no exception. It's just so roomy and if you have a pram a couple of kids in tow, well you need lots of room.
The spacious and neat children's area is a great place to sit and read, with the added bonus of plenty of room for prams and to wrangle kiddos. Mamma says if it's a nice day - grab a book and head outdoors to the courtyard and check out their reading igloo!
The easy-to-reach board book collection is excellent, providing peace of mind play for little hands and the extra comfy bright yellow beanbags are a bit cool.
As you may know, Mamma is a big fan of the local libraries and Yarraville Library is no exception with its bright, modern ambiance and plenty of room to read, play chess or grab a book to go.
