Grays Library open.
Grays Library is open today but the Cromwell Road entrance is currently closed. Access is via the main entrance in Orsett road. The Library may be slightly colder than usual as we carry out the remaining repairs to the heating.
Library visits for groups and schools
School visits
All school classes are invited to visit their local library. Each visit can be made to suit a school's special requirements.
Your visit will include:
- an introduction to the library and its services
- finding stories
- finding non-fiction and information books
- time to explore and choose books to borrow
Each term we ask a different year group to visit. A risk assessment is available on request.
| Term | Year group |
|---|---|
| Autumn term | Year 5, and also reception classes for Booktime |
| Spring term | Year 3 |
| Summer term | Years 1 and 2 |
We will send a letter to confirm your booking and a library joining form, which can be copied and given to every child. We help reading skills by getting every child to become a library member and encouraging them to read a wide range of books.
