Rhyme time
Rhyme time is a first library activity for non-walking babies and their parents and carers. Rhyme, rhythm and repetition are all fundamental to a baby's speech and language development. Sharing rhymes and singing songs helps babies to develop listening and concentration skills. All sessions are free but do get very busy.
If your child is an older toddler or is walking confidently, why not come to one of our Toddler read and rhyme or Story explorer sessions.
