Storytime at Williamstown Botanic Gardens

Children are being invited to attend a ‘pond life’ storytime in the picturesque surrounds of Williamstown Botanic Gardens.

The event, from 10.30am-11.15am on Friday, January 15, is part of a jam-packed Hobsons Bay council summer holiday program.

A Magical Creatures outdoor storytime will be held at Laverton on January 20.

This 45-minute event starts at 10.30am in the ‘play for life pod’ at St Martin de Porres School at 13-25 Bellin Street, Laverton.

Families can just turn up to both events (no booking required) with a hat, picnic blanket and dancing shoes for stories, songs and games.

As well, Hobsons Bay Libraries is holding holiday events from January 11-22. They feature the Summer Reading Club, wildlife shows, writing workshops for children conducted by Claire Saxby, and a mystery movie.

Movies by the Bay is back from January 8 with a dusk screening of Minions at Altona’s Logan Reserve.

Other movies are Big Hero 6 at the same location on January 15, and Oddball and Avengers Age of Ultron at Williamstown’s Commonwealth Reserve on January 22 and 29 respectively.
