Parents & Carers

 
We have books and information for parents and carers on a wide range of topics:
  • Childcare – including healthy eating, coping with sleep problems, childhood illnesses etc.
  • Child development – what to expect at each stage of your child’s life, from birth to teens.
  • Early learning - helping children learn new skills such as reading, counting etc.
  • How to help children cope with new experiences - visits to hospital, starting school, the arrival of a new baby etc.

Our libraries also all offer storytimes for the under-fives, where experienced members of staff will read to children and bring all sorts of characters and pictures to life! 

You can also join in with rhymetime singing sessions for babies and young children.

All Reading babies are entitled to packs as part of the Bookstart scheme.

You can also borrow toys from our Reading Toy Library.
