Babies Love Books!
Everyone is very welcome at any of the libraries in The
Vale of Glamorgan - and that certainly includes the very
young. Libraries are no longer very quiet places so please
don't worry that your baby will be too noisy!
Under 5’s Activities
|
Here in the Vale of Glamorgan, we recognise
the importance
of introducing your child to the world of books as early as
possible.
The following activities are designed to ensure that your
child
enjoys their visit to us. All our children’s books and story
tapes
are free to borrow and our activities are also free of
charge!
Our activities include:
|
- Book Start Book Crawl
- Storytime
- Rhyme & Sign
- Tots Treasure Time
|
Bookstart and Bookstart Book Crawl
We work with the Health visitors by promoting
the Bookstart Book Crawl in our libraries. At each visit,
your child is awarded a sticker and after six visits he receives a
certificate and a book. We feel this provides an added
incentive to your child to visit us!
At the 9 month developmental check Health Visitors present
a Bookstart bag (containing two board books, advice on sharing
books with your baby, a nursery rhyme place mat and an
invitation to join the library) to parents and carers.
Use the invitation to join the library
This is followed up at the two-year health check by an Early
Years pack (containing two books, advice on sharing books with your
toddler, a colouring book, crayons and a number frieze).
