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. Ask the librarian how to use the catalogue system so that you can find books by a favourite or on a particular topic. Teenage collections are provided in all libraries. The non fiction collections focus on books suitable for homework and GCSE course work.
Teenagers can hire videos, CDs and cassettes for a charge.
We cater for Parents and Carers by providing a collection of books, leaflets and information on every aspect of a child's mental and physical development. They are packed with simple fun ideas and sound advice about how to make reading pleasurable. It will be running in all the libraries during the year. For more details ask at your local library and give your child the opportunity to dive into the world of books. The Book Start project was launched in Ealing in March 1999 and our aim is to give a pack to every eight month old baby in the borough.
