Children's Art Library

Colourful, light-filled and welcoming, the children’s art library has ‘cubby houses’ for reading, tables for engaged learning, and a big comfortable lounge for adults to read with kids, and older children to become absorbed in a book. This is a place for young people and their families to drop by any time we are open, to relax and enjoy a collection especially for them, including books about art and artists, books by artists, and books about making art. Their growing collections include books in languages other than English and books by First Nations authors and illustrators, as well as books for children living with disability or who have access requirements. A hearing loop is active in these spaces. There’s also a regular program of engaging events and activities. Note: They’re not a lending library, so books and other materials cannot be borrowed. Children under 12 must be supervised by an adult at all times.
