The ‘Greek Storytime’ children’s program, which teaches pre-school children how to speak Modern Greek through interactive storytelling, is expanding to new libraries in Victoria.
The free-of-charge Greek language program is an initiative of the Pharos Working Group and will now be offered at Malvern Library and Glenroy Library in Victoria for 2023.
The program welcomes all ages and abilities. Auslan, which is sign language for people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, features in some programs.
At Glenroy Library, ‘Greek Storytime’ will be on the fourth Friday of every month at 10:30am. At Malvern Library, the program will run at 10.30am every Friday during school terms.
The Pharos Working Group has announced the program will also be coming to libraries in Altona, Mill Park and Lalor.
This boost to the program comes as the Victoria Labor government pledged last year during the state election to invest $6 million to deliver multicultural storytimes across Victoria in languages like Hindi, Punjabi, Italian and Greek.
