A free bedtime story book and library card wallet are available at the library for all children of 4 years and under, to pick up and keep. This exciting initiative aims to engage all parents of young children to read stories with them at bedtime.
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.
The section’s main aim is to go out into the community and let people know about all the amazing things available in their library, both in branch and online.
