A bilingual storytime session in Spanish with stories, rhymes, songs, dancing and music for children aged 0 to 5.
Spanish Rock n Rhyme Storytime runs at Newcastle City Library every second Tuesday during school terms, starting at 10:00 am. It's part of the library's bilingual programming and is conducted entirely in Spanish, aimed at Spanish-speaking families and anyone who wants to get a feel for the language. Each session lasts 45 minutes.
The format is built for children aged 0 to 5, mixing stories, nursery rhymes, songs, dancing and music into a single session. It's a good way to introduce little ones to the sounds of Spanish through things they can actually do — singing along, moving around and listening to stories — rather than just sitting and watching. Because it's designed for that 0-5 age bracket, it works for toddlers and preschoolers alike, so you can bring siblings along if they're within that range.

It's a drop-in session, so there's no need to book ahead; you just turn up with your kids. The library is at 15 Laman Street, Newcastle 2300, and the sessions are free. Since it only runs every second Tuesday during school terms, it's worth keeping an eye on the school calendar if you're planning a few visits. It's a low-pressure way to keep Spanish in the house or to start exploring it if you're just curious.
