Free Rhyme-time and Story-time sessions

Libraries across Wales run free Rhyme-time and Story-time sessions for babies and children. These fun sessions provide the opportunity to meet new friends and enjoy stories, books and rhymes with your child, read by children’s librarians and community storytellers.

As well as offering hundreds of free books for children and parents to borrow, libraries across Wales also offer activity clubs for children and organise family get-together events. Check your local library’s calendar for dates, times and locations of upcoming events near you.
