Fawkner Library has a friendly, neighbourhood feel and is just the right size for young kids to settle in for stories. Regulars know the morning sessions are low-key and ideal for meeting other parents in the area. The craft activity adds a hands-on element, so it’s not just sitting and listening; expect a lively group of kids making new friends, too. This is perfect for families with pre-schoolers, whether you speak Urdu at home or are keen for your child to hear stories in a different language. In Melbourne, where language storytimes are popular, Fawkner’s Urdu sessions stand out for their warmth and strong community vibe.

Insider tip
