Bounce and rhyme sessions launch at Kington Centre

31 March 2008

Mums, dads and carers are being urged to bring their babies along to new bounce and rhyme sessions being held at the Kington Centre.

The baby bounce and rhyme sessions have been launched as part of the National Year of Reading campaign which aims to get more people reading books.

Angela Davies, assistant reader services librarian, said: "These sessions are aimed at being an entertaining way for youngsters to get used to coming into the library.

"We use rhymes to get the children used to the sounds of words and they can also have great fun and make a lot of noise as well.

"When children come to libraries at an early age, we find they develop a keen interest and love of books which will stand them in good stead for when they come to start school," she added.

The first bounce and rhyme session is being held at the Kington Centre on Monday, April 7, from 10.30am until 11am and will then be held at the same time every Monday.

All parents and carers of children from 0 to four years of age are welcome to attend.
