Storytimes and rhymetimes

Storytimes are held regularly for under 5's, their parents and carers, providing an opportunity for them to share stories and for library staff to promote books and reading. Storytime is a chance to encourage young children with a life-long love of books from an early age, with some old favourite stories and characters as well as some new titles. Storytimes are held weekly in all libraries.

Book crawl

Book Crawl is a library initiative aimed at children under 5. It is one of Bookstart's key projects, promoting reading and enjoyment of books and sharing stories with parents and carers. Bookstart is a national programme that works through locally based organisations to give a free pack of books to babies with guidance materials for parents and carers.  Book Crawl is available at all Peterborough Libraries, including the Mobile library. The scheme is free, and in order to take part all that is needed is for the child to become a member of the library. Library membership is free of charge.


 

Many of Peterborough’s most popular cultural and sporting facilities are now part of something new. Vivacity.
