ISAAC Libraries will share the magic of story time with children outdoors with their First 5 Forever Pop Ups at The Park sessions.

Isaac Regional Council mayor Anne Baker said the program was a fun, supportive way to empower parents to be their child’s first and most important educator when their brains were “developing at their fastest”.

“The First 5 Forever program allows children and parents to play, talk and sing together, all while incorporating the joys of being outside and active,” Cr Baker said.
