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.
