Pre-School Storytime
Story time is a fun way to encourage your child to love books, reading and libraries. Our preschool story times are suited to children between three and five years old.
The sessions are usually structured around a theme - for example: pets, dinosaurs and transport. They involve stories, rhymes and a simple craft activity.
