Activities

Story and Play sessions are now held at the Central Library every Friday morning between 10.30 and 11.30 during school term time.

The sessions are aimed at pre-school children and will involve lots of different things. We will be singing rhymes and nursery songs (counting rhymes, action songs), have story telling (depending on age of children), toys to play with and occasionally craft/ sticking/drawing/colouring activities.

Parents will have a chance to chat with library staff about books for their children as well as meet new people. Children will benefit from playing with others and the language and story telling will encourage literacy.
