Man reading to children


Libraries are committed to promoting the idea of early book sharing and seek to give every child the opportunity to develop a life long love of books. It is quick and easy to join and it’s free.

In addition most libraries run regular Story and Rhymetimes for pre-school children.  For more information about Bookstart activities e-mail bookstart@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk.
