Did you know your baby can join the Library
from birth? To encourage your babies and
toddlers to develop a love of books and

all you have to do is request a membership
for your child, and a Bookbug Library
Challenge Collectors Card. Every time your
child borrows books from the Library, they’ll
get stickers on their card. Once their first
collector card is full you swop it for a beautiful
certificate – and there are 10 certificates to
collect in total!
Have Your Say
Do you find the picture books you want in your
library? Are our Bookbug sessions at the
right time? Do we offer enough events for
your babies and toddlers? We want to hear
the views of families with babies & toddlers,
