First 5 Forever

First 5 Forever poster

First 5 Forever is a free family literacy program delivered by Balonne Shire Libraries, which provides strong early literacy foundations for all children aged 0-5 years.

It connects families to the information, resources and support they need to build the best foundation for their child’s future language and literacy development.

The program is a great way to meet other parents and carers, try new fun activities with your children, and foster a love of reading.

First 5 Forever can extend well beyond the Library too; get inspired by the sessions and try some activities at home, or borrow more books to read together.
