Bookstart in Libraries

Book sharing is an enjoyable and important part of a child’s development and is also fantastic for bonding between you and your child.

See our Wriggly Reader sessions or pick up the colourful leaflet from your local library.

Sessions consist of rhymes and stories for babies and toddlers aged 0-4 and their parents/carers, running usually from about 20 minutes to an hour.

Give your child a head start when they start school by encouraging a love of books at an early age.
