Martha Lambert Tel. There are twelve libraries and a mobile library in the London Borough of Ealing and they all cater for children from babyhood right up to the early years of secondary school, providing books for education, information and recreation. The teenage and preteen users have a separate section, which is clearly marked and is aimed at the different needs that this group have. Babies and young children are welcome in all our libraries and we provide a playpen to assist parents and carers using the library. We have a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books suitable for children of all ages.
Larger libraries have a good selection of videos and cassettes aimed at children.
For children who are beginning to build their confidence in reading we have a selection of easy readers. There is also a wide range of popular and classic fiction titles for children of all reading abilities. We also have Dual text books in Urdu, Gujerati and Punjabi and in some of the European languages for example French, German and Spanish. The children's libraries have a comprehensive range of information books to borrow for general interest, sports and hobbies as well as for school projects and homework. In addition the libraries also have reference books, a space for children to study and library staff to help you are available in all of the borough's libraries.
