Story Time at the Library
2025-11-27 10:00 - 11:30, 2025-12-04 10:00 - 11:30 (Australia/Brisbane)
Talk, Read, Sing, Play!

Storytime offers a fun and interactive experience for children in their first 5 years, through talking, reading, singing and playing. We aim to foster a life-long love of stories and learning, as well as important listening and social skills.

In their first years of life your child’s brain forms over one million new connections every second. Research shows the first five years last a lifetime and that simple, everyday activities with you help to make these connections strong.

First 5 Forever Storytime is free! Join us every week to get ideas to try at home, meet other families and explore talking, reading, singing and playing with fun activities and resources.

Dear Santa - Keep the lights on
2025-12-06 18:00 - 23:00 | Monto RSL, Rutherford St, Monto
Step inside the twinkling lights and fading memories of Amarina Dean – a former starlet with a heart full of music and a mind slipping through time. In the cosy corner of a nursing home with a sarcastically cheerful name, Amarina flips through her photo album, reliving magical Christmases gone by: from glamorous cabaret shows to lonely war-time holidays, disastrous love affairs, and heartwarming video calls with her beloved granddaughter, Rhapsody.
Told through song, story, and laugh-out-loud moments, Amarina’s Christmas Journey is a festive, moving, and hilarious one-woman show with live piano and heavenly vocals from her “wireless”– who just happens to be a divine tenor.
Featuring classic and quirky Christmas songs, witty tales of misadventure, and a final reflection on what really matters – love, forgiveness, and family – this is a heart-string-tugging Christmas show not to be missed.
