Portland
The Magic of Storytime is an initiative that provides a rich and engaging experience for children, sparking their imagination and curiosity, while also providing an opportunity for parents and caregivers to connect and form networks and friendships.
In 2023, the program has invited members of the sporting community to come and read their favourite childhood stories to children aged from birth to 5 years.
This initiative is supported by Portland Aluminium and Glenelg Libraries.

Inspired by the heart-warming “Old People’s Home for 4-Year-Olds” documentary, the Magic of Storytime program brings the joy of storytelling to a Residential Aged Care Centre located at Heywood Rural Health.
This initiative provides an opportunity for local community members, kindergarten and childcare children, and residents to interact and bond over a shared love of stories.
The books chosen for the program are selected from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and celebrate significant national events.
This initiative is supported by Portland Aluminium, Glenelg Libraries, Heywood Rural Health, and Elsa MacLeod Kindergarten, providing a valuable intergenerational experience for all participants.
