Bookstart is a national programme for every baby in the UK. The scheme gives free packs of books to all babies at three ages:
- Seven months: Baby Pack
- Two years: Bookstart Plus
- Three years: Treasure Chest
It’s never too early to start sharing books with your child. Even if they may not understand the words, they love hearing your voice.
Your local library has hundreds of books which are ideal for sharing with young children and babies, who can join from one day old. All books are free to borrow.
Why not visit our catalogue to see what books your local library has to offer.
You can find out more by visiting your local library, or by reading the leaflet below. Alternatively you can contact the Bookstart coordinator on 01724 856034.
