Wriggle & Rhyme (TA)
Check out the FREE 30-minute Wriggle & Rhyme sessions at a library near you during the school term!
Wriggle & Rhyme sessions are designed for children from birth to two years old, and guide parents through a range of movement activities that they can also use at home with their children.
No need to register, just turn up!
Wriggle & Rhyme in the Park (CB)
Wriggle & Rhyme is in the Park for the Summer!
Wriggle & Rhyme sessions are generally designed for children from birth to two years old, and guide parents through a range of movement activities that they can also use at home with their children. We are however making these sessions open to older preschool children while we run the sessions outdoors.
Active movement provides movement experiences for younger children, to stimulate the development of their brains and bodies, and to build the foundations for pre-literacy and learning.
5 Minute Makerspace
Get creative and hands-on with fun science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) projects!
Generally suitable for ages 8 up to 13. Adult supervision and assistance generally required.
These 5 minute Makerspace sessions are being delivered virtually via the YouTube Channel and are in addition to the in-house sessions that we run.
Lego Club
Lego Club is a free hour of fun where kids can use their imagination to create, build and play. Look out for challenges and fun themes too!
All children aged 5-12 are welcome to join in. Registration is not required at present, but parents must sign children in and out of each session. Sessions are held in term time.
Libraries closed
Our libraries are closed for a public holiday or staff training.
eResources and Databases are available 24/7.

If you love reading books, sharing books, chatting to others about books and finding new books to read, come along to an enjoyable evening where you can share your favourite titles with other book lovers while enjoying light refreshments provided by the library.
