At most to these libraries there is a selection of CD ROMs such as Encarta and The Way Things Work, to help with study and homework. Children can also access the Internet subject to signed permission from a parent or guardian and other safeguards. Computer sessions can be booked by asking at the library or telephoning. You will need your Library Key card. Printouts cost 10p per sheet.
Activities take place throughout the year - usually around school holiday times.
Some books are specially designed to help children and their parents or carers deal with new, disturbing or difficult situations. We have brought a selection of these books together in twelve of our libraries. These books are shelved at 649P in the adult library. Bookstart Project Bookstart promotes sharing books with babies and young children from an early age. Research both nationally and locally shows evidence of real benefits by the time children start school.
