Family Time at Your Library
Published on 10th November 2025
A fun reading initiative in your library this December!
Family events and activities take place in all libraries during the month of December to support the involvement of the whole family in children’s reading.
Check out our events for details of family events and activities this December. Also check your local library.
Family Time at your Library activities are provided to engage family members in the enjoyment of reading and sharing stories. The whole family are also introduced to collections of children’s books, e-books and e-audio books.
The Family Time at your Library events aim to support a family-focused approach to reading with children as part of the national Right to Read programme and to increase awareness of the benefits of reading and promote reading as a fun, recreational activity for children.
