orcestershire Libraries & Learning Service wants to give children a flying start in life through inspiring, stimulating and creating a love of reading.
You can join your baby to your local library as soon as they are born and start their adventure into reading which they will hopefully maintain for the rest of their lives.
Children may borrow up to 12 books and 12 spoken word free of charge.
Your local library hosts a range of activities specifically for your little ones.
Never too young to join the library! W
These include regular Bounce and Rhyme sessions, Storytelling sessions, Reader's Groups, Reading Challenges, Homework Clubs and free access to PC's.
Why not join today!
