Touch and Connect

To celebrate Deafblind Awareness Week, State Library Victoria are hosting three interactive sessions for kids, led by Vision Australia.

Regular sessions of Baby Bounce and Toddler Tales will be transformed into Touch and Tune and Sensory Storytime. Kids will learn about and experience accessible rhymes and sensory storytelling using touch, sound and Auslan.

Audio descriptions will be provided during Sensory Storytime, and Auslan interpretation, braille books, tactile books and sensory toys will be provided throughout.

A parent/carer must attend this event for the entire duration with their child/children.

Presented by Vision Australia and State Library Victoria as part of Deafblind Awareness Week.
