Children's Zone All children are valued members of our community and we make them particularly welcome in our libraries. Junior sections are provided in every branch and they are furnished to encourage children to feel engaged and comfortable. Children can enjoy the same services as adults, including Internet access, but with a particular focus on their interests and needs. Children's services include: A personal library ticket and account Each child receives his/her own library ticket when they join. We hope that this will encourage a sense of responsibility and citizenship as well as making each child feel personally welcome at the library. Junior Sections in our branches and mobile libraries The Junior Section of each branch library offers a complete lending service for children. Here you will find books for babies; fiction and non-fiction for 6-12 year olds; a young adult section for 12 -15 year olds; a reference section; music and games on CD and cassette and videos for watching in the library. Toys, jigsaws and games can be used while you are at the library. There are also children's PCs with lots of educational and entertaining software for young people. Cultural and educational events As well as on-going story-readings, children celebrate Christmas, Summer, Easter, Halloween and other festival seasons at the library. Joined by other children, library staff and visiting activity leaders, children can participate in a wide range of activities designed to entertain, teach, involve and stimulate the youngest members of our community. Past events have included author visits, dance classes, arts and crafts, environmental awareness, multicultural activities and much much more. Details of our events are published in advance on our website and in our libraries. You can ask to have your family added to our mailing lists so you will always know what’s going on.
