Join our series of low sensory story times for children and their carers who need more time to wiggle, settle and be comfortable in the library space.

The sessions will feature books, rhymes, wiggle movements and visual cues throughout, while being a friendly and supported space before the library opens to the public.

As the story time is held in the library before opening hours, we ask that you arrive a few minutes early or on time so you can access the building. If you are no longer able to attend, we would appreciate you letting us know as soon as you can, so we can alert anyone on our waitlist.

Please bring a drink and any fidgets your child needs, clearly labelled.

If you require anything specific in order to attend, or have any questions, please reach out to the Bathurst Library Team on 02 6333 6281. Please note we may not be able to cater to a specific request to accommodate your child but will do the best we can within the library space.

These sessions are a trial to assess if our community will attend and support a low-sensory story time, further sessions may be released, and all feedback you have would be appreciated.

Children must be accompanied by an adult carer at all times.

West of Central 2

Conceived as an exhibition responding to place, West of Central embraces artists who live and work across Wiradjuri Country in Central West NSW.

This Earth-centric exhibition honours artists’ care, concern, and respect for Country. Home to an increasing cohort of contemporary artists seeking connection, respite and balance, regional Australia is a place where artists have space to create, experiment and challenge. West of Central celebrates those who live and work regionally, positioning the regional as central to their practice.

First realised at BRAG in 2023, this second chapter, West of Central 2, invited artists from LGAs of Lachlan, Parkes, Forbes, Weddin, Cabonne, Cowra, Blayney, Orange, Mid-Western, Bathurst, Oberon and Lithgow to respond to the ecologies, histories, and communities of these places.

Artists: Adam Rish (Hill End), Gabrielle Bates (Kandos), Genevieve Carroll (Hill End), Graham Lupp (Bathurst), Gus Armstrong & Peter Swain (Kandos), Jonathan Jones (Bathurst), Laura Baker (Blayney), Nicola Mason (Napoleon Reef), Ros Auld (Borenore), Simone Darcy (Forbes), Steven Cavanagh (Hill End), Susan Baird (Hill End), the artHITects (Gary Carsley & Renjie Teoh) (Bathurst), Vicky Browne (Nullo Mountain).

It was produced by the Arts and Health team, Kate Smith and Steven Cavanagh, and was created by Bathurst-based film maker Henry Simmons.
