Baby bounce and rhyme and storytime sessions
Baby bounce and rhyme and storytime sessions
If you have a baby, you can come to our baby bounce and rhyme sessions.
For the latest updates, check our Coronavirus: library information page or follow us on:
All of our libraries share nursery rhymes and songs with families and babies for around 30 minutes every week. See the timetable below.
What we do
One of our librarians leads the singing. Some libraries have rattles and musical instruments for the children. These are free sessions and you don't need to book.
We welcome older siblings too.
How bounce and rhyme helps
Singing rhymes with babies helps:
- language development
- bonding between parent or carer and child
- children’s understanding of the world around them
For more information, and to join a baby bounce and rhyme session, contact your local library.
