** STORYTIME FOR UNDER 5s RETURNS! **

Storytime will return after its summer break on THURSDAY 10th SEPTEMBER.

Storytime runs every Thursday during term time from 10.15am to 11.00am. We invite you and your child aged from 1 to 4 along to the library to enjoy FREE story readings by one of our lovely Storytime volunteer readers.

There’s no need to book – just rock up. We’re pushchair-friendly too – park them inside the library.

So pull on those comfy seven-league boots, shoulder your faithful old knapsack, and install the magic bean app on your phone. Then stroll (or wheel) your wide-eyed and unsuspecting pre-schoolie along to the library to enjoy one of our lovely volunteers bringing a children’s tale or two to life.

Please note: children should be accompanied throughout by a parent or guardian.
