Sessions are free, but we welcome cash donations in the library. Places are limited. Depending on capacity some libraries are using Eventbrite to manager numbers and others no longer require pre-booking. Please check the details for your library before travelling.

Discover lots of new stories as well as old favourites like The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Gruffalo. Then choose your own books to borrow and share at home.

Sessions are free (donations welcomed) and you don't have to book in advance.
