Kidsguide tip
Libraries don't just offer books but also CDs, DVDs, computer games, free internet access and special sessions for children including story times for the under 5s and rhyme times for babies. They can also lend materials for children with hearing, visual, physical or learning problems and dyslexia.

 

Kidsguide tip
Bookstart is a national scheme to encourage reading.
Bookstart aims to provide free packs of books to every child aged 0-4 in the UK.
Bookstart BookCrawl
encourages young readers to become library members and collect stickers & certificates. Ask at your local library for details or see www.bookstart.co.uk.

There's nothing worse than disappointed kids so please contact the venue before you set off. 
If you do notice something wrong or out of date, please do other parents a favour and
