Library services especially for children

Libraries are for you! There are all kind of books, story tapes, music, DVDs and videos for you to borrow, and some libraries are setting up reading groups too. Information books, quiet study areas and PCs with free internet access make homework a breeze.

Joining is simple, quick and free. You can join without your parent or carer being there and borrow two books straight away. Once we have your parent or carer's signature you can borrow up to ten books and six other items such as DVDs or CDs. You will also need your parent or carer to give their approval if you want to use the computers in the library.

Further information for parents and carers of very young children, childminders, foster carers and home educators is also available by following the links. Leaflets about services are available both in libraries and online.
