Cowra Library Extended Library Hours Trial
Cowra Library is trialling extended Library opening hours until 5 April.
Cowra Library is now open an extra hour on weekdays – from 9.30am – 6pm.
Saturday opening hours have been extended by 4.5 hours from 9.30am – 4.30pm.
As a vital community resource, Cowra Library offers more than just books. It is a centre for lifelong learning, creativity and connection, providing access to a wide range of books, audiobooks, ebooks and Family Literacy Programs.
There are also computers for community use and access to free WiFi.
The extra hours will help us understand the level of community demand for Library services and make it more accessible to everyone, especially for those whose schedules might not align with the usual opening times.
We welcome feedback on the extended Library hours trial. Please call us on 6340 2180 or email us cowra@cwl.nsw.gov.au

Cowra Library Storytime
Join us for an exciting new Term of Storytimes at Cowra Library on Mondays at 10am. During Term 1, we will all become Storytime Investigators! Each week will involve a science or STEM investigation, as we find out how the world works. We’ll learn about pollinators, recycling, rockets, germs, and more! Storytime at Cowra Library is lots of fun! We read stories, play games and make craft. Storytime sessions are held every Monday during the school term, and cater for preschool aged children and their carers. Storytime is free, and each session lasts approximately one hour.
Cowra Library Baby Rhyme Time
Join us on Wednesdays at 10am for stories, rhymes and activities that are lots of fun for children aged 0 – 3 years old and their carers.
Carers who spend time reading to their children create nurturing relationships, which is important for a child’s cognitive, language and socialemotional development.
Reading aloud and talking about pictures and words in age-appropriate books can strengthen your baby’s language skills, literacy development and parent-child relationships.
Children who are read to during infancy and their preschool years have better language skills when they start school, are more interested in reading and are ready for learning.
Remember to read age-appropriate books to your children and to make it fun! And we are here to help with that.
We have books, games, rhymes, songs and craft!
Building Books
Fridays 1 – 2pm

Cowra Library
Cowra Library introduces a new early literacy program for children aged 0-5 and their carers called Building Books on Fridays at 1pm.
Join Amy as she shares a range of fun and easy techniques to build the foundations of literacy and language with entertaining and engaging storytelling.
Building books will help children develop communication skills including the ability to understand and use spoken words, recognise written symbols and have simple conversations through interactive play.
It’s all about fostering a love of reading, books and language.
