Bookstart Book Crawl

If your child loves books and coming to the library then we have just the thing for you this Autumn.

Bookstart Book Crawl gives you and your under 5s the chance to collect 10 fabulous certificates.

Each time you visit the library you can collect a sticker and once you have collected 4 stickers on your Bookstart Book Crawl collectors card your child will receive a fabulous picture certificate - we have 10 different designs so something to suit everyone.

We will also be awarding bonus stickers - an extra one for joining in the first place and others for happy smiling faces, lots of books borrowed, being good for mummy or daddy etc. Simply ask our helpful staff and we will give you an extra sticker to make collecting your certificates even easier.

Bookstart Book Crawlers will also receive small free gifts along the way such as a scribble pad or a height chart. 

So don't delay - Bookstart Book Crawl starts from 22nd September and runs to the end of December - happy collecting!
