It's been more than a year since the popular children's program had to shut down due to COVID restrictions. Janine Cunial programs team leader at Griffith City Library was thrilled to see so many familiar and new faces joining the group on Tuesday.

"We tried coming back at Christmas time but we had to cancel that which was really sad but now we can officially re-open," Mrs Cunial said.

"We have a lot of fun so it's great to see everyone here again.

"I've just missed them all! They've all grown up and there are more babies that I haven't met and it's just a happy part of my job, it puts a smile on my face."

Rhyme Time is an opportunity for families and children to bond with others and have fun. It develops language skills, especially listening and gives young children the opportunity to build a love for bokos and reading.

Two weekly programs are now open for parents to register, Tuesdays and Thursdays, which they can do through the Library events page.

"We've got two programs per week back again and we are just really excited to be able to deliver this service to parents and children," Mrs Cunial said.

"It's great for the parents to meet with other people and for the kids to learn to interact with other children and for them just to have fun.

"Now that we can restart our programs it's bringing people back to the library and we just want to encourage people to come in and see us."
