Reading your child stories, and singing songs and nursery rhymes helps to stimulate them and encourages them to learn. The younger the better. Even small babies enjoy bright colours in books and being sung to.
It's enjoyable for the child and for you as you discover old stories and rhymes from your childhood.
If you would be interested in bringing your child along to one of our Bookstart Rhymetime sessions for babies up to 18 months, please ask staff at any library for further details.
