Next Friday we're celebrating !

We know that not every child is lucky enough to have a bedtime story. On Friday 12th June we're supporting BookTrust so together, we can keep on gifting books to those who need them most. 📖📚

Come down to Bookstart rhymetime on Friday 12th June in your PYJAMAS! and bring a £1 donation to help us raise money for Booktrust.

On the day, you can donate in cash, or via the QR code we will display in the library.

⭐Friday 12th June
⭐10.30am

Recommended for children age 1-4 years
