We’re excited to welcome back Ipswich Libraries and their beloved First 5 Forever – Books & Blocks Pop-Up right here at Yamanto Central!
Perfect for families with little ones aged 0–5, this free event offers a fun and relaxed environment where kids can enjoy stories, block play, and a variety of early learning toys that encourage creativity, connection, and development.
Whether you’re building towers, singing songs, or settling in for storytime, every moment spent together helps build strong foundations for lifelong learning – and it’s all right here at your local shopping centre.
👶 Suitable for ages 0–5
👨👩👧👦 Parents, carers and guardians welcome
🎉 No need to book – drop in any time during the session
💬 Why It Matters:
The first five years shape a child’s future. First 5 Forever is a Queensland Government initiative that supports families in talking, reading, singing and playing every day to help little minds grow.
Please Note:
-
Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

First 5 Forever is delivered by Ipswich Libraries in partnership with the State Library of Queensland and Ipswich City Council.
