Library services for children and young people

What we have for children in libraries

All our libraries have a special section for children where you can relax and enjoy looking for new books. There is no charge for joining the library or borrowing library books and we don't charge late fees.

You can join online, or by visiting any of our libraries.

Library services for children include:

  • Family friendly accessible libraries
  • Picture books and board books for babies
  • Easy stories for children beginning to read by themselves
  • Stories for children of all ages
  • Books for older children and teenagers
  • Information books to help with your hobbies, projects and homework
  • Holiday activities and competitions
  • Computers for internet access, email and homework
  • Staff to help you

Look out for the Summer Reading Challenge for 4-12 year olds every summer holiday.
