Library services for children
Marrickville library service provides a large selection of children's books, music CDs, CD-ROMs, DVDs, videos, talking books, and kits (books and cassettes or CDs) for loan. Marrickville Library Service's collection caters for pre-schoolers, beginner readers and young children.
We also coordinate a number of activities for children of all ages. Please browse through this section using the links below or to the left to find out more:
Homework Help
Homework Help is designed to assist students from Years 3 to 12 during school terms. Bookings are not required; just turn up with your homework or essay/assignment. The program does not provide one to one intensive tutoring, but focuses on homework assistance in a group setting.
We also offer an online homework help program called yourtutor.
Chess & Checkers
Chess & Checkers Club meets every Friday during school term from 3.30pm to 4.30pm at Marrickville Library.
Summer Reading Club
Ensuring your child keeps reading during the summer holidays we have a Summer Reading Club. There are prizes to win and a party to attend. Our summer Reading Club starts on 1 December each year.
Services for schools and child care centres
A bulk loan service is available on a regular cycle and materials are delivered to schools/centres to supplement their available resources.
