On joining the library and getting your baby a library card, you will receive a free library bag and book to keep, including information about reading to children and appropriate booklists.
Studies have shown about 85 per cent of brain development happens in the first five years of life.
“Your child’s library card will allow them to access resources, programs and services that will enhance their reading experience and impress upon them the importance and value of reading at a young age,” Sarah Taylor, Council’s Unit Manager of Library Services said.
The library also has a digital collection of e-books and databases that cater for children. Activities such as Rhymetime for 0-18 months and Storytime for 2-5 year-olds are also held.
