Programs and Events
Cambridge Library is home to interesting social and learning groups, plus regular programs for visitors of all ages.
For our youngest library visitors Rhyme Time and Story Time sessions during school terms are a hit, plus we run activities for school aged children over the holiday periods. Or, why not join us for Lego Club, held every second Monday.
Our adult members can join like-minded others to enjoy activities from Rummy-O to watercolour painting, origami and more. Join a group at the library to meet new people and pick up new skills!
Bookings are generally not required but you may wish to contact the Library to confirm days. For more information call us on 9383 8999 or email library@cambridge.wa.gov.au
