Wokingham

Parents and children in the Wokingham district will be discovering a whole new world of stories and rhymes this autumn, with a new schedule of free storytime sessions at Wokingham district libraries.

Storytime is for children aged under five, and is an opportunity for parents and young children to enjoy spending time in the library together. Each storytime event involves listening to stories, singing songs and rhymes and doing a craft activity.

There are special storytime themes each month. October has a spooky theme, with creepy stories and craft activities. November’s theme is funny rhymes, which includes different rhyming stories and making animal nursery rhyme pictures. December events have a winter theme, with seasonal stories and the chance to make winter pictures.

Storytime is held weekly at the larger libraries, with themed sessions once a month:

* Woodley – 2.15pm-3pm, every Thursday

* Lower Earley – 2.30pm-3.15pm, every Thursday

* Spencers Wood – 4pm-4.45pm, every Monday

There are themed storytime sessions once a month in all other libraries, as follows:

* Maiden Erlegh – 2.15pm-3pm, November 21, December 12 (Tuesdays)

* Winnersh – 10.15am-11am, tomorrow (October 21), November 25, December 16 (Saturdays)

* Twyford – 2.15am-3pm, November 21, December 12 (Tuesdays)
