Wokingham

It is never too early to start enjoying libraries, as young children will be able to find out at a series of fun sessions lined up in the Wokingham borough.

There will be baby bounce and rhyme sessions every month at three of the Wokingham borough’s libraries. These will be from 10.30am to 11am on the first Tuesday of every month at Wokingham Library in Denmark Street, the second Tuesday of every month at Woodley Library in Headley Road and the third Tuesday of every month at Lower Earley Library in Chalfont Way. The bounce and rhyme sessions feature nursery rhymes, songs and stories for babies aged 0 to 18 months. The sessions are free but places must be booked. Contact the individual libraries: Wokingham on 0118 978 1368, Woodley on 0118 969 0304 and Lower Earley on 0118 931 2150 to book a place.

For under five year olds, the Wokingham borough’s libraries have free storytime sessions with a colouring activity at each weekly session at Wokingham, Woodley, Lower Earley and Spencers Wood libraries. Wargrave, Twyford and Maiden Erlegh have monthly sessions with a special theme, Cats for September, Jungles for October, Monsters for November and Christmas for December. There is no need to book.

Wokingham Borough Council reader development officer for young people and families Elizabeth McDonald said: “As the summer ends, parents may be looking for different, fun activities for their children and the Wokingham borough’s libraries have plenty of options. These sessions for young children are always entertaining – there is a lot of singing and giggling and that is just the parents! The children love them as well.”
