Going to school for the first time is a big milestone in a child's life. It's an exciting, yet somewhat nervous time for the whole family. We have put together a list of some of our favourite 'Going to School' books, which we hope will help your family navigate this new experience. All books are available to borrow or reserve in your local library.

With over 45+ events to choose from, including several family friendly events, there will be opportunities for parents and children to join in the fun together.
