Current and Upcoming Events

Baby Rhyme Time Launches at South Hedland Library

A new, free library initiative is launching at the Libraries on Tuesday, 9 October. Baby Rhyme Time is about parents and carers spending time with their young children. These sessions encourage bonding and social engagement through rhymes, storytelling and connecting with others in the community.

It's also a chance to get to know other parents with young children and form new friendships. We hope to see you at the sessions! The sessions are for 0-2 year olds, and will run every Tuesday from 9 October until Tuesday 11 December.

Port Hedland History Project

The Town of Port Hedland is looking to extend its local history collection to preserve and celebrate the rich and diverse community of Port Hedland, and surrounding areas. Electronically collecting historical material makes sure items of significance are around for future generations to enjoy. Click here for more information
