The Toy library is a great collection of toys, jigsaws and games for younger children, and includes some educational toys for older children too. Toy library membership is $34.00 (incl. GST) per family per annum, which allows each child in the family to borrow up to two toys at a time for a period of four weeks. Toy library membership is open to grandparents as well. You must be a member of Kiama Library to join the toy library.

NSW Premier's Reading Challenge

The reading challenge aims to foster a love of reading in students across a diverse range of quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to each student to read, to read more and to read more widely. Many of the Premier's Reading Challenge books are available at the library. 

The PRC booklists are now available online.
