Storytime sessions at Colwall Library

Herefordshire Libraries are to start running storytime sessions at Colwall Library from Friday, September 28, for the under fives.

Parents are invited to bring under fives along to hear stories and rhymes between 2.15pm and 2.45pm.

To celebrate the launch, children will be given goodie bags and there will be face painting with a jungle theme.

Children will also get the chance to sign up for the Bookstart Book Crawl to collect certificates for their reading.

Under this scheme, which aims to boost reading among under fives, each child gets their own Book Crawl collector’s card and then receives a sticker each time they visit the library.

When the card has been filled with five stickers, the child will get a specially designed certificate.

Parents are also reminded that Herefordshire libraries do not issue fines on books issued to under fives.

Any parents interested in the storytimes are welcome to drop in to Colwall Library or they can just come along to the first session on September 28.
